# Rules of KCG Yahtzee

## Objective

The object of the game is to score the most points by rolling five dice to make certain combinations.

## Gameplay

- The game consists of 13 rounds. In each round, you roll the dice and then score the roll in one of 13 categories.
- You may roll the dice up to three times on your turn.
- On your first roll, you roll all five dice.
- After the first and second rolls, you may choose to "hold" any number of dice and re-roll the remaining ones.
- After three rolls, or when you decide to stop rolling, you must choose a category to score.
- Each category can only be used once per game. If your roll does not fit any available category, you must choose one to "scratch", scoring zero points in it.
- The game alternates between the human player and the computer opponent.
- The game ends when both players have filled all 13 scoring categories. The player with the highest Grand Total wins.
