Yahtzee Turbo Game Directions

Yahtzee Turbo is an electronic twist on the original Yahtzee game. Instead of always trying to roll five of the same dice, you follow the directions of the big die and try to complete the objectives faster than your opponents. Also, unlike traditional Yahtzee, Yahtzee Turbo can be played as a single-player game.
