Yahtzee High Score
What is the highest score you can get in a single game of Yahtzee? Reaching a four-digit total score is almost unheard of but entirely possible. Consisting of 13 scoring categories, the Yahtzee scorecard allows for the possibility of multiple Bonus Yahtzees and this is
In the real world, any score above 300 is a good result in Yahtzee. But what’s the absolute maximum you can score? By my calculation, it’s
1,575
.
Here’s a sequence of gameplay that generates that score. Remember:
You score an additional 100 points for every Yahtzee (five numbers the same) after the first one.
That Yahtzee can also be used as a wild card for any other category and scores based on the values you throw. So for a maximum score you want all your “wild” Yahtzees to include sixes.
The wild card rule still applies where a sequence of 5 matching numbers wouldn’t technically be a result that matches the category, such as a small straight or large straight.
