Well, do you play it do you?
I keep filling every moment on the tube playing it on my phone.

Top scores are 328 for Regular and 1915 for Triple, any good?

I thought this was going to be about Zero Punctuation. But no, instead it's about something really boring. I am disappoint.

Actually, it prompted me to read this, which was fun.

I used to play it with my mother when she was in a nursing home. Now I play it with my grandchildren (no doubt they're wishing to play it with me in a nursing home) usually in the evenings when we're on a skiing holiday.

Love the Wiki link, Michael. I started working on something similar last skiing trip. I think I'll copy out some of the results, and convince the kids this year that I've worked them all out myself.

I used to play quite a bit but I don't like the extra bonus points for extra Yahtzees as it kind of ruins the game. So we didn't do that.

Yeah I don't understand that, and don't do it. Triple is cool though and brings tons more tactics to scoring.

I feel like Katy Perry when she sang "I read some maths and I liked it".
