World record yahtzee score

In the real world, any score above 300 is a good result in Yahtzee. But what’s the absolute maximum you can score? By my calculation, it’s
1,575
.

Here’s a sequence of gameplay that generates that score. Remember:


You score an additional 100 points for every Yahtzee (five numbers the same) after the first one.

That Yahtzee can also be used as a wild card for any other category and scores based on the values you throw. So for a maximum score you want all your “wild” Yahtzees to include sixes.

The wild card rule still applies where a sequence of 5 matching numbers wouldn’t technically be a result that matches the category, such as a small straight or large straight.

High Scores





From 2006 to 2009 we asked people to submit their high scores to Yahtzee.org.uk and over 1000 people did so.

Working with the submitted high scores, we've done some analysis. One thing to come out of this is that the profile of submitted scores each year follow a closely matching trend, so it does look like the scores are fact and not fantasy.


The most often achieved high score zone is 600-650, with 23% of all submitted high scores being in this range. Due to the nature of Yahtzee scoring, its much less likely that you'll score 550-600 or 650-700 and much more likely your score will land in the ranges 600-650 or 700-750.



In fact, if you do score in the less likely ranges, it probably means you haven't realised the correct rule on scoring multiple yahtzee throws and you're missing out on your score. Check the rules page - the additional yahtzee's section is highlighted in green.


Here's a graph showing the %age of scores in each range submitted in each year. You can clearly that some ranges are much more likely than others, and that the profiles are very similar for each year.
