It's a little cheat - Version: 1.1.1.2u, 8/2/2007 05:13PM PST

This is a fun game to play, but it doesn't always count the dice correctly. Four of the same value may only show three, etc. Sometimes credit isn't given for the actual value of the dice. The mathematics is a little buggy, also not clicking a die to keep doesn't always let the die spin. Kind of wierd to watch.
Price is great.

* Doesn't always add up the real score of the roll, and sometimes an unlocked die doesn't roll. It's a cute program, but it should be played only by kids who like to listen to the dice roll.

I am a bit of a yahtzee connoisseur having spent way too many hours over many years playing it, and this is one of the nicest iterations of the game I've seen. I used to get upset with my previous version when I accidentally hit the wrong scorebox and there was no undo. The double click to confirm the score eliminates this (though I think that there should also be an option or preference to confirm the entry on the first click, with an UNDO for an error) and it scores slightly differently from the one I'm used to, but overall, this is the best layout I've seen in terms of the way I like to play the game.

Nice work!
