An implementation of the classic dice game. The game allows play for up to fifteen players. All the usual rules apply. On a turn a player rolls five dice and can re-roll (a selection) twice. Scoring is divided in multiples of a value (amount of aces, twos, threes, etc.) and special rolls such as full house and Yahtzee (5 identical dice). After each turn the player must decide what to write, or strike out one of the available options if nothing matches. Getting at least 63 points with multiples will yield a bonus score of 35 points. Whoever scores the most points at the end wins.
