About Word Yahtzee

Word Yahtzee is another addition to the Yahtzee family, which is one of the most recognised dice games in history. However instead of numbers, letters and words take center stage. Players still have a maximum of 3 rolls in a given turn but now players have 7 dice at their disposal.
