Editorial Review
Yahtzee has been called America's favorite dice game and, with tattered boxes closeted in homes across the nation, that claim is not hard to believe. Put five dice in a shaker, mix in strategy, add luck, stir--then let the fun begin! So how do you improve on something this good? By sprucing it up. Yahtzee Deluxe is aglitter with sparking dice, a velvet-lined playing tray, a sturdy cushioned shaker that has the feel of soft leather, and detailed score cards that make totaling points easier than ever. The detailed instruction booklet even includes a section on the history of dice. The plush playing surface is set inside a light plastic frame that seems a trifle small, but this is a minor complaint. As a handsome replacement for an old, faded game, or a brand-new source of family fun, Yahtzee Deluxe offers the same excitement that has been entertaining players since it was first released in 1956. --George Laney

 Great game but comes with poorly made components August 27, 2008

I'll begin my review by saying that I love Yahtzee. I never grow tired of it and I enjoy the excitement of trying to roll a good hand. It's fun and addictive. But I have several issues with this current Deluxe version.
First of all, the physical components of the Deluxe version of this game are a big disappointment. They no longer resemble the picture on the Amazon screen. For example, the dice are a hideous shade of dark pink, not white, red or cream colored. When I first took them out of the box and looked at them, the first thought I had was something along the lines of, "What in the world...." I continued to examine them and couldn't really believe what I was seeing. The dice were flat-out ugly. The indentations on the dice were a weird shade of red, which makes them difficult to "read" on a dark-pink background. The second disappointment was the rolling tray. It doesn't look like the picture on the screen. It's a very thin, very flexible gauge of plastic, somewhat paperlike, completely covered in a cheap black felt. It's so light and flimsy, that when you roll the dice in it, the entire rolling tray sometimes moves across the table. The two black scoring pencils would have been a nice touch had they both been embossed with the word "Yahtzee" on them like we see in some of the photos. But these were just plain black pencils. The dice cup has a padded felt liner formed inside of it, but the liner seems to be coming detached at two points near the lip of the cup because the glue is breaking down. Probably the best aspects of this game are the directions, which are clear and well-written, and the enclosed scoring pads.
The Deluxe version just seems to be very poorly made with cheap components. I did NOT have high expectations for this game, and I didn't expect it to be of the quality of Yahtzee games of 25 years ago. But I am still disappointed. At $16.99, it just isn't worth it. Next time I'll go with the regular version at $7.99 and use the top of a shoebox as a rolling tray. It worked great when we were kids and it works great now.
 A Hard to Find Great Buy July 2, 2008

I was searching for a quality Yahtzee game to give as a gift, and this was the only game I found that came with the dice tray. My father loved the game and we play all the time. A definite recommendation to purchase.
 The progenitor of all dice games February 19, 2008

Ever since ancient times, Man has amused himself with dice. The six-sided cubes whose roll is always different have long been used in games.
Yahtzee is the progenitor of all modern dice games, and the rules are so basic, it could very well have been a game that children, men, and women from all eras might have played. The rules seem to have something in common with pretty much every dice game I've come across.
The rules are basic and simple: roll the dice, and aim for one of the "hands" on the score sheet. Once you fill up the sheet, the player with the highest score wins. You get five dice and three turns to achieve a "hand". Sounds simple? It isn't. You'll have to be good at rolling and have a healthy dose of luck on your side to win.
Yahtzee: The Deluxe Edition is a great addition to the regular game. The rules are the same, but now, the dice are colored with milky swirls and gold pips, and you get a special dice tray complete with dice holders, along with score pads, two pencils, and bonus chips for when you get more than one yahtzee. This is definitely the edition for any serious Yahtzee player.
I would recommend that you order this product today. It's a lot of fun, trust me.
Not a Deluxe Version of Yahtzee!! January 15, 2008

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have always enjoyed playing Yahtzee and wanted to get a nice version of the game. I decided on the Deluxe version because I liked the idea of having a tray to use to roll the dice in and from the picture it looked like it would be a good quality product. Boy was I wrong! The game is of course the classic game, so I won't knock the game itself. But the tray that this comes with is very flimsy. I had expected it to be a solid plastic tray but it is not. The rest of the game is fine, but because I had paid twice as much for this deluxe version, I thought I would be getting a better quality product than I did.
Better than the original January 16, 2007

Love this new edition to Yatzee. It is so handy to have the tray so your dice don't go flying everywhere. This game is really a good game for the whole family.
