Yatzy: you throw, you input, you win

Five dice, 13 turns and three throws in one move. Who would have thought that everyday throwing dice could provide a logic puzzle and entertainment on long evenings? But yatzy is about much more than throwing dice to win as many points as possible. Perception, quick decision-making and a sensible strategy game are as important at luck.

Where did dice games originate?

Contrary to appearances, dice are not an invention of the 1970s, when they gained great popularity around the world, particularly in the United States. With the help of these cubes, gambling expanded, as was predicted in ancient Egypt and in the Roman Empire, nearly 4 000 years ago! The number of sides on dice have ranged from four to up to 100. It was precisely yatzy that inspired Asians to invent the game of dominoes. Although dice games over the years have evolved considerably, they managed to survive until modern times, and to develop as yatzy online on the screens of our internet devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones. Trying a version of yatzy online should save money in purchasing professional kits to play yatzy. It also solves the problem of finding a partner willing to play.

Yatzy: a guide for beginners

It may seem that playing dice relies only on luck and a good roll. However, yatzy requires of a player logical thinking and a minimum level of mathematical ability. A dice game starts by selecting a player to start. A game of yatzy involves throwing five dice with six sides, entering the resulting combination on the scorecard (when playing an online dice game, this is and electronic scorecard), and winning as many points as possible. The total number of turns in yatzy is 13. There are 13 scoring combinations on the scorecard, and each of them can be used only once. During a round, each player throws three times. All dice must be used in the first throw, but subsequently you can select all or any amount, discarding those that, by doing so, might create a more favorable combination. You must assess whether each roll gives you an optimal combination, and plan ahead in order to win more points. Although it sounds somewhat complicated, it takes just a few games to get to know all the combinations and start to work out your winning strategy.

So, you already know the basics. Open your GameDesire account and use your skills to win the most points in yatzy online.

We have prepared a few guidelines that will significantly enhance your ability to beat other players and enjoy your winnings:

Rule 1: relax

A dice game is after all a good form of entertainment. You will achieve a much better result if you throw the dice while relaxed.

Rule 2: use your head

A game of dice game online relies primarily on logical thinking. For example, if you roll a combination of 4, 3, 4, 4, 1, you should enter it into the category of 'fours', because you have the most. Then you get 12 points, because you made three fours. For choosing 'threes', you would get three points. Certainly do not input 'sixes', 'fives', or 'twos', as they do not appear in your combination, and you don’t want to end up with 0 points. In addition to simple combinations, there are also lower section sequences, which may resemble poker hands: two pairs, three of a kind, full house, straight, etc. Before each throw of the dice, it is worth considering which combination you want to discard.

Rule 3: play the game!

The point is not to record blindly on the score card each result that fate deals you, but to organise the combinations so that they yield the most points. You have four 'sixes' and one more would give you a high scoring combination of 'five of the same'? Play one die in two consecutive throws.

Rule 4: calculate and recalculate

With a bit of mental effort you can improve your score against opponents. Or, even better, you will earn a reputation as a good strategist! Did you cover probability in school? It is worth revising the basics.

Rule 5: not everything depends on luck

A bit of luck can, of course, be useful. But remember that the art of playing yatzy relies heavily on rules 2, 3 and 4.

Rule 6: get involved

Commenting live on the game will make the play feel more serious and professional, and you will certainly have a better time than mindlessly tossing the dice and entering the resulting digits on the yatzy board.

A few days ago I wrote an article, Big Canoe: Creek 9 Ballot Challenged. Included was a link to a 5 Page Letter I had written to the POA Board, their attorney, et al.

The POA Board’s Attorney (Kimberly C. Gaddis Esq. of Gaddis and Lanier LLC) has just submitted a Response. You can read her 2 Page PDF here:
Response to Email “Big Canoe Voter Complaint & Notice”

Regardless of what the outcome of this Creek 9 Vote is(results are supposed to be released Friday) it is apparent to myself, and others, that this POA Board has no respect for the rules, and has become little more than an extension of the Big Canoe Developer’s interests in regards to major financial decisions within the community.

Even if the Creek 9 Initiative vote fails, this Board will most likely just double down on their next expansive list of Expensive Projects, as outlined in the recent Aug 17 Notes of Meeting (1), in which they outlined plans for $17 Million dollars of more projects in the next several years. Among discussion was the suggestion “to tear down the realty office and The Chimneys and construct a boutique hotel.”

Discussion of a boutique hotel is just a new spin on an old plan that goes back as far as 2003, when it was first publicly referenced in the long range Water Supply Evaluation Report (2) that blueprinted the Developer’s Long Range Strategy to create an income generating Resort, anchored by a central Village Core located, 80 room Hotel/Inn attached to commercial entities, including 4,000 Square feet of new office space, and a new 150 seat adjoining restaurant.

According to the currently retained rights of the Developer (Big Canoe Company) under Article 1; Section 1 (h)(3) of the 1988 Covenants, the Developer….

“may provide an inn or inns and a restaurant or restaurants within the currently Covenanted Property and inn guests shall have guest privileges to the use of the Common Properties…”

Using Property Owner Dues and Special Assesments to fund all of these world class resort amenities is nothing new. But we are entering ino a new phase of the Developer’s plan… the establishment of that Village Core Commercial Venture. You can already see that the Developer Representative, Phil Baldwin is keeping the Board laser focused, and on target, to lay the expensive foundational groundwork of moving the Postal facility, upgrading the Chimneys, and expanding Parking within the Village Core. I predict this morphs into a full scale civil engineering venture to completely regrade, reshape, and repurpose the entire Village Core into a Developer Controlled (or Assigned) Hotel, Commercial Retail & Restaurant complex – bringing even more Special Events Guests into the community to create a need for even more property owner funded expansion of fitness, wellness, swim, clubhouse, golf, tennis and other amenities to keep the Developer’s Resort Guests happy and spendng money.

So we, as property owners, are going to be spending a LOT of money in the coming years to pave the way to establish the Big Canoe Village Core as a Cash Cow Resort for the Developer.

That won’t be all the money we’ll be spending though. None of this includes the $48,000,000 (million$) of 2016 Reserve Study (3) identified replacement items that will be coming due in the next 30 years (not including the 20 year old estimate of $3,550,000 to repair the Petit Lake Dam – which was not included in the 2016 Reserve Study). These are replacement items that we have a whopping $2,850,000 +/- dollars in our reserve fund to cover the needs of. Sounds like a lot of increases, fees and special assesments coming our way, and all will most likely have “special voting quoroms” attached for approvals.

Honestly, the primary problems the community faces if we are to succesfully rise to the occassion and challenge the status quo are: (a) we have an older population too tired to fight at this stage in their lives, and (b) we have too many newcomers with no clue as to the governance history of Big Canoe – except for the revisionist b.s. the Board, Management and Smoke Signals Screen Newspaper put out, and (c)the old HOA that used to look out for us was disbanded.

Informational Tidbit of the Week: Did you know that Bob Crouch was HOA President leading up to its disbanding? Yes, Bob and 2015 POA Board President Dick Scharf were instrumental in eliminating the community watchdog as they secretly began putting together the 2016 Land Deal.

The Game Product Owner Challenge Games

With all of this said, we now wait for the Creek 9 Initiative Vote results – to see if any future hope of energy and resistance remains within this tired old mountain community – or whether the Developer’s vision of Big Canoe as a property owner funded Mountain Destination Resort will be accepted by property owners as inevitable.
