Question about Yahtzee =)

[imagirliegirl]

Brad and I are huge dorks. We love playing Yahtzee. Thing is, there are these yellow chips in the box. Our instructions only came in Spanish which presents a slight problem. So someone tell me...what are the stupid yellow chips for?

[Reenie]

It seems like they're called bonus chips (http://www.gameroom.com/gamebits/RULES/164_Yahtzee_Rules.html):
HOW TO USE YAHTZEE BONUS CHIPS:
A player receives one YAHTZEE Bonus Chip when he tosses a second YAHTZEE during a game if, and only
if, the first YAHTZEE was scored in the YAHTZEE box. The second YAHTZEE is scored in the appropriate
box in the Upper Section or as a Joker, as explained in the preceding paragraph.

The YAHTZEE Bonus Chips are each worth 100 points. At the end of each game, players score the number
of points each has in YAHTZEE Bonus Chips and then return the chips to the "kitty." When two tables
are playing, divide the Bonus Chips by color.

Hehe thanks! Now I know we can throw them away. :)

I love Yahtzee, too! I think I'm going to have to break mine out, we haven't played in a while.

Why is it you need the chips anyway, since you are recording the extra Yahtzees?

Not that I have this problem often, but I have always wondered!

Yeah I wondered the same thing! I've played Yahtzee a ton and I've only used all 3 bonus boxes once. I still have that score card. :D

Love Yahtzee, so much so that we have the travel game and the little handheld one too. That's all in addition to the home game. Just shameful. :o

I just played Yahtzee for the first time last week at game night, and I loved it! It's slightly addicting!

The chips might be from the older versions of the game. I don't think the old score cards had the bonus boxes. We have a really old version and we have a bunch of yellow chips (which are never used :) ) Of course we have newer score cards too.

You're a nerd! :D

Oh, no. A new addiction!
