There are more fleshed out versions of Yahtzee but they also cost more.
Just some notes about this version of Yahtzee software:
I am running it on Vista and it works.
When installed, you can play regular Yahtzee but you need the CD inserted when playing the other four versions.
The Game Options are limited,you can only change sound and hint/advice options.
I can't play full screen and it only shows the score card of the player in control of the dice.
Most of this is trivial since I paid VERY little for the game. My only real complaint is when you play the computer it will put its score(if it scored high enough) in the High Score section.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Work on XP, February 26, 2010

I have to agree about the false advertising. I tried to install this system on three different systems (1 desktop/2 laptops) with Windows XP. All three are stable and work well. This game will not install on any on the systems even when following the setup tips in the readme files. After reading the readme files and looking at the file creation dates (1996) it is apparent that the game was written for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. My copy is being returned to Amazon tomorrow.

If you love the game of Yahtee, you will love this. There are 5 different Yahtee games to choose from, including the classic Yahtzee. My kids and I will play for hours!
