Related Games
A number of related games under the Yahtzee brand have been produced. They all commonly use dice as the primary tool for gameplay, but all differ generally. As Yahtzee itself has been sold since 1954, the variants released over the years are more recent in comparison, with the oldest one, Triple Yahtzee, developed in 1972, eighteen years after the introduction of the parent game. In addition, the 1970s television game show Spin-Off was based on Yahtzee. Another, similarly short-lived, TV game show adaptation, Yahtzee, was syndicated to local stations during the 1987 season.
One online variation of Yahtzee, is Yahtzo (www.yahtzo.com). Yahtzo contains the same basic rules and goals of Yahtzee, but the online gameplay allows the users to track statistics of their games and games of all Yahtzo players. Yahtzo.com also features logic to show the predicted final score and the highest possible score for the current game, which is updated each turn. The Yahtzo variation also shows a distribution chart and top scores of all games played.
