The history and evolution of Yahtzee

One of the oldest games in history is the game of dice. A die is usually made of wood or ivory in a shape that resembles a cube. Dots are embedded on each side of the cube indicating the number from 1 to 6. It is played by rolling the dice on the ground or on a table.

Yahtzee is one of the most popular dice games. The origin of the game is about to be debated by experts who were able to focus on its development from the earliest times. Many people claim that the game was invented by Milton Bradley. The current copyright owner of the game, on the other hand, says that it was invented by a Canadian couple.

Also according to “Hasbro” (the current owner of the rights to the game), Yahtzee became popular when the Canadian couple visited a toy manufacturer to create dice for the game they call “The Yacht Game”. The toymaker liked the game and asked the couple to buy the rights to the game. The toymaker later changed its name to “Yahtzee”. This became Hasbro’s standard claim.

Yahtzee is played using 13 categories. The game depends on pure luck and the minimum calculation of the player. It usually starts by allowing a player to choose a certain combination. Players would then roll the dice and try to get the combination of their choice. The player’s score is based on the results of the combinations he got on each turn.

As the games gained popularity, many versions were created. Therefore, players are free to choose the version they like. Through this, they can enjoy what they are playing and develop a certain bond with the nature of the game.

With the advent of modern technology, Yahtzee has finally transformed into an online game. The online version makes use of virtual dice. Instead of playing the game in an open area, it is now played using a computer or other electronic device.

More and more sites now offer the online version of the Yahtzee. There are also many players who got hooked on the game. Since it is offered for free, almost every person has the opportunity to play it. All they need to do is log in to a particular site where the game is offered.
