🏆 Winning Strategies

• Aim for the upper section bonus: Try to score at least 63 points in the upper section to get the 35-point bonus.
• Don't waste Yahtzee: The Yahtzee is worth 50 points. If you roll one, don't use it on a lower-scoring category!
• Use Chance wisely: Save the Chance category for when you have a high total but don't fit any other category.
• Think ahead: Sometimes it's better to take a zero in one category to preserve better options for later rounds.
