Word Yahtzee Rules, 1982

Word Yahtzee game, 1982

Word Yahtzee, a bold evolution of the classic game, merged Yahtzee's familiar mechanics with spelling challenges. Players roll letter dice, each bearing point values, to form words within a one-minute limit. The game retains Yahtzee's iconic scorecard structure but redefines a Yahtzee as a 7-letter word. This innovative blend of word-building and dice-rolling aimed to compete with popular spelling games like Boggle.

"Just roll the letter dice and arrange them to form words of varying lengths and various letter combinations. Count up their values and strategically place the totals in the 12 Score Boxes on your Score Sheet. You're also awarded points for special letter combinations that don't even form words (like all vowels or all consonants). Bonus points, too, could also be yours... and if you're feeling really sharp, try to form a 7-letter word and make a Yahtzee for extra big points. That's Word Yahtzee... the letter perfect game that spells out F-U-N for the whole family!"

Released: 1982
Publisher: Milton Bradley
Slogan: "Roll the letter dice, build words and win big!"
