I realize we aren't supposed to cite other reviewers on a product, but so many here have described this game all I can do is add a few thoughts.Or maybe just one: Pointless.
I have played a hand-held Yahtzee game that was more fun. My wife is an inveterate Yahtzee player, she gave up after ten minutes. It moves so fast you'd have to be under 12 or have ADHD to keep up with the automatic re-rolls. It proves the adage, "the house always wins", and as this is primarily for solo play, you are the house.
How can you lose a game with no competition? It auto-scores for you, and even calculates the total. It might as well be completely automated for all the interaction involved. I felt like a chimp performing basic intelligence tests.
The technology is pretty cool, so a star for that. But one of my favorite parts of "real" Yahtzee is the interactivity- poring over which combos of dice to hold, which to re-roll, adding score- human interaction- all gone. The forth game allows for multiple players, but the first three are so frustrating I can't think of anyone I would choose upon to inflict.
Sometimes it simply does not respond. When choosing a game from the "menu", it often as not fails to accept the choice. When lining up the tiles in an attempt to play a game, I see the first 4 displaying their numbers, but the 5th is giving that weird "up-arrow" display, and noting I can do can talk it out of it.
It's hostile and unfriendly. Not only are you expected to make your keep/re-roll choice in about 3 seconds, sometimes it does not respond at all. Low battery? I don't know, but sometimes I seem to have to fight it just to get the game to launch. It's aggravating. Even if it consistently worked as described in the instructions, I probably still would not like it.
I am not sure who the intended buyer would be for this one, I am still fascinated by it and may continue to get past the early roadblocks I have described, (another star for that) but unless it somehow grows on me- and begins to function reliably, I believe the clever little tiles will remain in the nice little red box.
