Naruto Shippuden Yahtzee Review

YAHTZEE: Naruto Shippuden
YAHTZEE: Naruto Shippuden

“YAHTZEE: Naruto Shippuden” is a new Yahtzee product from USAOPOLY, Viz Media and Hasbro.  Yahtzee is the most popular dice game in the world, with around 50 million Yahtzee games sold each year.

I am a huge Naruto fan.  I have read all the Naruto manga volumes, and I have watched Naruto and Naruto Shippuden.  So, I was looking forward to reviewing this mish-mash of Yahtzee and Naruto.  

AHTZEE: Naruto Shippuden – What’s in the box?

What’s in the Box?

This is a specialized Naruto themed version of Yahtzee.  

The box contains:

The ramen bowl is about 3-1/2 inches wide, and about 1-1/2 inches tall.  It actually works quite well as a slam-able dice cup on the table.  You can slam the dice on the table and peek under it quite well.

How does YAHTZEE: Naruto play?

This version of Yahtzee plays like the original version of Yahtzee.  There are no rule changes whatsoever.  So if you know how to play Yahtzee, you know how to play Naruto Yahtzee.  

For those that don’t know how to play Yahtzee, it’s a game you should have in your repertoire.  One, because it is a classic game, that many other popular games are based on.  And two, because it’s still fun!

Here are the simple rules of Yahtzee.  Yahtzee is played over 13 rounds of dice rolling.  Each player gets one turn per round to roll the dice up to three times and score a category.  You have to fill in one empty box in the column under your name each turn.  Highest total score wins.  

YOUR 1ST ROLL – Roll all 5 dice. If you get the exact combo you want, mark your score card right away. Otherwise, continue with your 2nd roll.

YOUR 2ND ROLL – Set aside any ‘keepers’ and re-roll the rest. Hate them all? Re-roll them all!  If you get the exact combo you need, mark your score card. Otherwise, continue with your 3rd roll.

YOUR 3RD AND FINAL ROLL – If you still haven’t nailed a combo, or just want to maximize your score: Roll some or all of your dice (as above), even any ‘keepers’ you might have set aside from the first roll.  You must enter a score at the end of this roll, whether or not you like your dice.  If your roll doesn’t suit any of your empty boxes, you have to enter a ZERO somewhere.
