The main aim of Maxi Yatzy, as in its preceding edition Yatzy, is to score as many points as possible within the 20 different categories on the score pad. Now though, the user can choose from six dice instead of five, as in the classic version. In every round, the player has one starting roll with all six dice and two optional rolls.
After any roll, the player is allowed to put their score onto the score pad. Once the player has entered the score, a new round begins and any remaining rolls are carried over to the next round. The time limit for the game is six minutes. The game is played over 20 rounds, one for each score category. The final score from the score pad, multiplied by 100, plus the remaining time bonus, makes up the overall final score.
"Yatzy is already one of the most popular SkillGames on our site and we are therefore very pleased to introduce the new edition, Maxi Yatzy, to our users. At bwin, we are dedicated to continuously developing and expanding our games portfolio and offering our users the most thrilling games platform possible", said Product Manager Multiplayer Games Caroline Westholm.
