What Is Skill Dice?
Skill Dice is EazeGames' 100% skill-based dice game made for fans that love games like Yahtzee. Players roll five dice up to three times per turn, keeping chosen dice between rolls to build scoring combinations. The goal is to complete categories on a scoresheet, straights, full houses, three-of-a-kind, and the coveted five-of-a-kind, and finish with the highest total score. On EazeGames, it is played as a skill-based head-to-head competition where both players receive the same dice in the same order.
What Is Yahtzee?
Yahtzee is a classic dice game played with five dice and a scoresheet of thirteen scoring categories, split between an upper section (matching numbers 1 through 6) and a lower section (combinations like three-of-a-kind, full house, and five-of-a-kind). Each turn, a player rolls the dice up to three times, choosing which to keep between rolls, before locking in a score for one category. It's one of the best-selling dice games ever made, played by families and casual groups worldwide for generations.
Yahtzee Rules
Traditional Yahtzee rules give each player thirteen turns, one per scoresheet category. A turn allows up to three rolls: after the first and second roll, the player sets aside any dice to keep and rerolls the rest. After the third roll, or whenever the player chooses to stop early, the result must be recorded in an open category. If nothing fits, a zero is recorded and that category is closed for the rest of the game. Whoever holds the highest combined total across both sections when every category is filled wins.
Yahtzee Strategy
Yahtzee strategy revolves around managing an unknown outcome: deciding which dice to keep, when to chase a high-value combination like a five-of-a-kind, and when to cut losses on a weak roll rather than risk an uncertain reroll. Because every roll in traditional Yahtzee is genuinely random, reading the odds and protecting flexible categories for later turns are core skills in the traditional game.
The History of Yahtzee
Yahtzee has been a staple of family game nights since the 1950s, when it was first trademarked and mass-produced. Despite decades of new tabletop and digital games, the simple format, five dice, thirteen categories, three rolls, has barely changed, a testament to how well the original design balances luck and decision-making.
Skill Dice, however, is a standalone 100% skill-based dice game for fans of classic dice games like Yahtzee: every match starts with identical dice and a visible upcoming-dice preview for both players, so skill is the only variable left. That makes Skill Dice a game that is purely based on the skill of the player, unlike any other dice game on the market.
How Do You Win at Skill Dice?
You win by finishing with the highest total score. Score points by filling 13 categories on your scoresheet, one per turn. Every category must be filled; if your dice don't fit, you record a zero. On EazeGames, both players receive the same dice, so the winner is determined entirely by decisions, not by who rolled better. For a full breakdown, see the Skill Dice strategy guide.
How Skill Dice Works on EazeGames
Skill Dice keeps the general core dice-game mechanic intact, five dice, up to three rolls per turn, keep the dice you want between rolls, but the competitive layer is entirely different from a casual online dice game. The key difference: both players receive the exact same dice in the exact same order. This eliminates the luck of the draw completely. Players have 4 minutes to score as many points as possible. If your opponent outscores you, it is because they made better decisions with the same material, which dice to keep, which combinations to target, when to use a power-up, and how to manage the scoresheet.
Upcoming dice are visible before each roll
A significant skill differentiator: upcoming dice numbers are visible before they are rolled. Each turn becomes a forward-planning exercise, you decide which dice to keep now based on what the next roll will bring, not just what is currently showing.
Three rolls, strategic keeping
Each turn allows up to three rolls. After each roll, choose which dice to keep and which to reroll. After the third roll (or whenever you stop), select a scoring category. The scoresheet shows exactly how many points each available combination would earn before you commit.
Power-ups in Skill Dice
Skill Dice on EazeGames includes three power-ups. You receive a maximum of one power-up per game, when to use it is itself a strategic decision.
| Power-up | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus Die | Turns one die into a Bonus Die: it counts as any value the combination needs | Save it for a high-value combination where one mismatched die is the only thing standing in your way |
| Move the Multiplier | Lets you choose which scoring combination receives the x2 multiplier | Move the multiplier onto your highest-scoring expected combination, not the one in front of you right now |
| Higher / Lower | Adjust one die +1 higher or -1 lower | Convert a near-miss into a straight, full house, or matching set |
The x2 multiplier and scoring bonuses
Each game places a fixed x2 multiplier on one scoring combination: when you score that combination, the points double. The Move the Multiplier power-up lets you reposition that x2 onto a more valuable target.
Skill Dice also includes a Time Bonus (extra points for every remaining second on the clock when you finish), a Speed Bonus (faster combo assignment earns more points), and the Skill Dice achievement: rolling multiple five-of-a-kinds in one game. Achieving Skill Dice means you receive the full points for every combination on your scoresheet. For a full turn-by-turn walkthrough of the EazeGames format, see how to play Skill Dice.
Scoring in Skill Dice
The scoring system in Skill Dice uses multipliers and bonuses that differ from traditional dice games. Understanding the point values and which combinations to prioritise, are clear skill advantages in the game.
| Combination | Points |
|---|---|
| 1's through 6's | Sum of chosen dice x10 |
| Three-of-a-kind | Sum of all dice x10 |
| Four-of-a-kind | Sum of all dice x10 |
| Five-of-a-kind | 500 points |
| Small straight | 300 points |
| Large straight | 400 points |
| Full House | 250 points |
| Other | Sum of all dice x10 |
| Upper section bonus | +400 bonus if 1's-6's total exceeds 640 points |
Additional scoring elements: the x2 multiplier doubles the points for one combination per game (movable via the Move the Multiplier power-up); Time Bonus rewards leftover clock time; Speed Bonus rewards quick combo assignment; and rolling multiple five-of-a-kinds triggers the Skill Dice achievement, which awards the full points value of every combination on your scoresheet. Scoresheet strategy: the scoresheet displays exactly what each combination would score before you select it. The advantage goes to the player who reads the full board and maximises points across all 13 categories. See the full scoring breakdown in the Skill Dice rules guide.

Unlike Skill Dice, traditional dice games of this genre involve a significant element of chance, you cannot control which numbers the dice show. Skill Dice is designed differently: both players see the same dice, in the same order, every match. Decisions become forward-looking; the upcoming preview enables you to make informed decisions about which dice to keep. The scoresheet has 13 categories, and every fill closes off a future option, so skilled players manage it as a resource. And you only get one power-up per game and one x2 multiplier slot, when (and on what) to spend each is among the highest-leverage choices in the match.
