Where Geometry Dash Lite tests reflexes in short bursts, Yahtzee With Buddies is slower and social: you roll five dice, pick a combination and trade turns with friends. Scopely built it as the mobile version of the Hasbro dice game, and it has passed 10 million installs on Google Play.
Free to play, with ads and purchases
The game costs nothing to install. It carries ads and in-app purchases, so some rewards and extras are likely to come with a prompt to watch or buy.
New players get 30 free bonus rolls on download. The content rating is Everyone, and the game sits under the board category.
Tournaments, blitz matches and Dice Masters
Solo play is there, but the focus is multiplayer. You can play against friends and family, join a Yahtzee Family to share help and rewards, or enter online tournaments. Newer tournament modes include Solitaire, Bingo and Stars.
Yahtzee Survivor is a real-time blitz format against hundreds of players. Dice Masters are opponents you beat to unlock rewards.
Side modes change how combinations pay off. Paint n Roll turns them into paint drops, and Prize Climb Bowling speeds up your ball as your score rises. Collections reward you with stickers, finished sets and new dice. You can also chat, send stickers, open card packs and set custom dice, portrait frames and themed boards.
