How to use the score sheet
- Add a column for each player, up to eight, and type their names at the top.
- Pick Yacht (12 boxes) or 13-box rules before the first turn. Each rule set keeps its own sheet.
- After each turn, type the score into one empty box in that player's column. A roll that doesn't fit the box scores 0, and the box is still used up.
- Or tap the five dice under Score a roll from the dice. It lists what every open box would score; one tap fills the box and passes the dice on.
- Read the totals along the bottom. The line above the sheet names the leader, then the winner once every box is full.
- Press Print a blank sheet to play away from the screen: six player columns on one page, black on white.
The sheet lives in this browser only, so it isn't sent anywhere. Reset scores clears the boxes for a new game and keeps the names.
Yacht scoring: the 12 boxes
Yacht has 12 boxes and no bonuses. The six number boxes count one face each, Full House and Choice pay the total of the dice, and both straights pay 30. The best possible game is 297. These are the rules our Yacht game plays.
| Box | Scores | Most |
|---|---|---|
| Ones | Total of 1s | 5 |
| Twos | Total of 2s | 10 |
| Threes | Total of 3s | 15 |
| Fours | Total of 4s | 20 |
| Fives | Total of 5s | 25 |
| Sixes | Total of 6s | 30 |
| Full House | 3 of one number + 2 of another: total of all 5 | 28 |
| Four of a Kind | 4 or 5 alike: total of 4 of them | 24 |
| Little Straight | 1-2-3-4-5: 30 | 30 |
| Big Straight | 2-3-4-5-6: 30 | 30 |
| Choice | Any roll: total of all 5 | 30 |
| Yacht | 5 alike: 50 | 50 |
13-box rules (as in Yahtzee)
Yahtzee, Hasbro's commercial version of Yacht, adds a 13th box and two bonuses. Choose 13-box rules on the sheet to score that way. Three of a Kind and Four of a Kind pay the total of all five dice, the Full House is a flat 25, and the straights are any four or five dice in a row.
| Box | Scores | Most |
|---|---|---|
| Ones | Total of 1s | 5 |
| Twos | Total of 2s | 10 |
| Threes | Total of 3s | 15 |
| Fours | Total of 4s | 20 |
| Fives | Total of 5s | 25 |
| Sixes | Total of 6s | 30 |
| Three of a Kind | 3 or more alike: total of all 5 | 30 |
| Four of a Kind | 4 or more alike: total of all 5 | 30 |
| Full House | 3 of one number + 2 of another: 25 | 25 |
| Small Straight | Any 4 in a row: 30 | 30 |
| Large Straight | Any 5 in a row: 40 | 40 |
| Five of a Kind | 5 alike: 50 | 50 |
| Chance | Any roll: total of all 5 | 30 |
- The upper bonus is 35 points when the six upper boxes total 63 or more. The sheet adds it for you and shows how many points are still needed.
- Each five of a kind after the first earns 100 points, but only if the Five of a Kind box holds 50. After a 0 there, a second one earns no bonus.
- Under the Joker rule, a second five of a kind must go in its number box if that box is open. If not, it can fill any open lower box, where Full House, Small Straight and Large Straight score 25, 30 and 40. The dice helper applies this for you.

One roll, two sheets
The same five dice can be worth very different amounts on the two sheets. Each score below comes from the same scoring the keeper uses.
Score sheet FAQ
How do you fill in a Yacht score sheet?
Write each player's name at the top of a column. After every turn, the player who rolled writes a score in one empty box of their column, or a 0 if the dice don't fit the box they pick. After 12 turns every box is full. Add each column, and the highest total wins.
Does this score sheet work for Yahtzee rules?
Yes. Choose 13-box rules above the sheet. It adds Three of a Kind and pays a 35-point bonus when the six upper boxes reach 63. The Full House scores 25, the straights 30 and 40, and each extra five of a kind after a 50 adds 100. The printed sheet follows whichever rules you pick.
Why is the bonus at 63?
63 is three of each number: 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 18. Under 13-box rules, reaching it in the six upper boxes earns 35 points. Four of one number can make up for two of another, and a 0 in one box doesn't rule the bonus out. Yacht has no bonus at all.
What are the highest and lowest possible scores?
In Yacht the highest possible score is 297 and the lowest is 5, because Choice always scores at least five 1s. Under 13-box rules the ceiling is 1,575, which takes 13 fives of a kind with 12 bonuses of 100, and the lowest score is also 5.
Can I print a blank score sheet?
Yes. Press Print a blank sheet, or use your browser's print command on this page. You get one page with six blank player columns for whichever rules are selected, in black on white so it copies cleanly. Switch the rules and print again for the other layout.
