Yahtzee, solved

This is a solver for the game Yahztee, and a small webtool that indicates how to play optimally (ie. for a maximal expected score).

Also included, the game of Yatzy, a popular variant in Scandinavia.

• https://castux.github.io/yahtzee/yahtzee.html
• https://castux.github.io/yahtzee/yatzy.html

Usage:

• Type the faces of your dice in the "Roll 1" field, (for instance "15536", the order does not matter) the UI will indicate which dice to keep (reroll the rest)
• Repeat in boxes "Roll 2/3" until the UI tells you which box to score
• Type your score in the relevant box in the upper side of the interface
• Repeat until end of game :)

Congrats, you have now beaten Yahtzee.

Final expected score

Yatzy: 248.4394 Yahtzee: 245.8705
