Dice Master Showdown in Yahtzee with Buddies

The Dice Master Showdown that has 28 dice masters is ending March 7th, 2016.  The Dice Master Showdown (DMS) is the fastest way to earn XP at the top level (20K, 25K, 30K, 40K, and 50K of XP).  Normally, you are permitted to play each of the dice masters beginning with "Onsie" once per day.  Since the yesterday, when the new update came out, Scopely has changed the "day wait period" and now it can be skipped by using bonus rolls.

If you lose in a "level" of the dice master showdown, you lose progress to the lowest rung of that level.  Say you're at AMETHYST (the final tier), and you lose to Lord Rollerby, you will drop down to Cpt. Two Beard (20K XP) and can fight back up to the dice masters instead of going all the way to the bottom (1 of 28 rung).  Remember that!

Using what I just wrote about, you could earn millions of points in the next week!  Good luck  from Yahtzee Blogger!

Parade of Presidents in Yahtzee with Buddies

The Parade of Presidents has just opened in Yahtzee with Buddies.  The showdown will last 21 days and have to beat nine dice masters in order to get your custom dice!  

You can use bonus rolls to skip the wait as usual.   The first wait can be skipped by spending 2 bonus rolls and progressively gets more expensive.  
I don't see anything about a vanity frame on this one so it might just be the dice and a lot of chances to get XP, since there are only 9 dice masters.  How to beat John F. Kennedice?  You'll need two yathzees! I also listed how many bonus rolls to avoid the wait.


The dice masters that you'll need to beat are:

BRONZE LEVEL: (5 Bonus Rolls for Completing)
George Onesington: 50 XP, 165 Avg.
Fourmas Jefferson: 100XP, 195 Avg. (2 BR Skip)
John Quintsy Adams: 200 XP, 215 Avg. (3 BR Skip)

SILVER LEVEL (10 Bonus Rolls for Completing)
Honest Eight Lincoln: 500 XP, 230 Avg. (4 BR Skip)
Teddy Rollsevelt: 1,000 XP, 255 Avg. (6 BR Skip)
Wouldroll Wilson: 1,500 XP, 270 Avg. (8 BR Skip)

GOLD LEVEL (15 Bonus Rolls for Completing + Custom Dice)
Harry S. Twoman: 2,000 XP, 280 Avg. (10 BR Skip)
Dwight Eisenroller: 3,000 XP, 300 Avg. (12 BR Skip)
John F. Kennedice: 5,000 XP, 321 Avg. (15 BR Skip)

Once you beat them all, you receive this message at the end. There is no mention of getting anything new, such as a vanity frame but here is what I paid to get this in one day:

60 Bonus Rolls Used
30 Bonus Rolls Won

13,350 XP gained in one day.

Valentine's Showdown on Yahtzee with Buddies

Yahtzee with Buddies just started the Valentine's Showdown.  It looks like you get a custom vanity frame and dice after you beat the showdown five times. The showdown lasts until Feb 14th, 2016. You should have enough time to at least defeat the dice masters once to get the vanity frame.

The dice look like the little candy sweets. :)  
The vanity frame has the heart with tiny hearts that get filled in each time you beat the showdown.



These are the dice masters that you'll face.  I haven't gone through at this moment but I'll fill in the info as I progress as usual. You can skip the waiting period by using some of your bonus rolls.

BRONZE  LEVEL (5 Bonus Roll Prize)
Two Love: 50 XP, 160 Avg.
Fourmance: 100 XP, 180 Avg
Twopid: 200 XP, 220 Avg

SILVER LEVEL (10 Bonus Roll Prize)
Two Cute: 300 XP, 235 Avg
XOXO: 500 XP, 245 Avg
Four Ever: 750 XP, 255 Avg
Sweet Three: 1,000 XP, 270 Avg

GOLD LEVEL (25 Bonus Roll Prize + Vanity Frame)
Marry Three: 2,000 XP, 285 Avg
Tuxthreedo: 2,500 XP, 305 Avg
Rollaway Bride: 3,000 XP, 315 Avg
Lil Rasroll: 4,000 XP, 325 Avg
Afourdite: 5,000 XP, 340 Avg

If you beat the valentine's showdown at least once then you'll see this message when you are victorious!  Are you going to play it and beat it five more times?  

I usually don't unless there is a set of custom dice as a reward but the little hearts that fill in the vanity frame don't excite me.

Do you play this showdown?

Clue Community Event in Yahtzee with Buddies

The Clue Community Event just started today (1/14/16) and lasts for 25 days.  You have 25 days to collect 80 clues (magnifying glasses).  You do this in various ways but playing will get you one.  Beating the characters in the showdown will get you more, and so will doing tournaments.

Note that it says that you must qualify (get 80 magnifying glasses) and the community (all the players) have to collect 25,000,000 magnifying glasses.  There are three tiers: 200 XP, 400 XP and 600 XP if everyone helps out.  You have to wait 25 days to get your dice even if you finish early.

There are prizes for beating the dice masters.  First you get XP, Bonus Rolls and/or Diamonds.  You earned a few in the "Diamond Fortress" right?  


Beat the whole showdown and get Cluedo Black Custom Dice.  Beating the showdown gets you this new vanity profile.  Each time you beat the clue showdown, you get a new marker around the vanity.  Can you beat it five times?

Notice again, that once you beat a dice master that you can skip the waiting period by using some diamonds.  For those of you asking, "What are diamonds for in Yahtzee with Buddies?"  Now you know!

They are used like bonus rolls but harder to get.


Here are the dice masters that you need to beat; as I beat the bunch I'll update this post.

BRONZE LEVEL: Completing gets 5 Bonus Rolls
Professor Plum: 50 XP, 1 Clue, 171 Avg
Monsieur Brunette: 100 XP, 2 Clues, 192 Avg
Colonel Mustard: 200 XP, 5 Clues, 233 Avg

SILVER LEVEL: Completing gets 15 Bonus Rolls
Miss Scarlet: 300 XP, 2 Clues, 240 Avg
Mr. Green: 500 XP, 4 Clues, 255 Avg
Lady Lavendar: 750 XP, 6 Clues, 266 Avg
Madam Rose: 1,000 XP, 10 Clues, 270 Avg

GOLD LEVEL: Completing gets 30 Bonus Rolls and Vanity Profile Crown
Sgt Gray: 2,000 XP, 10 Clues, 285 Avg
Rusty Nayler: 2,500 XP, 15 Clues, 305 Avg
Ms. White: 3,000 XP, 20 Clues, 315 Avg
Prince Azure: 4,000 XP, 25 Clues, 325 Avg

Miss Peach: 5,000 XP, 50 Clues, 340 Avg

Beat the final dice master 4 more times and get a marker for each time on the vanity crown. Remember that for every 80 clues, you get a scratcher!  Good luck.

I beat the challenge today (January 24th) using a fresh start; especially after Miss Peach got three yahtzee (50,70,80) at a certain point...  I got the traditional, "You are in the top 1%" pop ups when it finished.  It showed two crowns for the achievement.  I'm not sure I want to try it four more times though.

Football Showdown in Yahtzee with Buddies

It looks like Yahtzee with Buddies finally incorporated diamonds in as their currency.  Before, you earned diamonds in the duels but didn't know what to do with them.  In their latest showdown for the football.  

Before, you used bonus rolls to skip the wait.  This time the first player was free and then the second was free.  I tried to play the third and it wanted 5 diamonds to advance.

There are less dice masters in this showdown but the lowest average opponent is higher. 

To get the football dice, you have to beat the showdown 5 times.  I'll update this post as I progress and beat it.



SILVER LEVEL
Da Pigskins: Prize 100 XP, 245 Avg.
Swashbucklers: Prize 260 XP, 260 Avg.
Thirty Birds: Prize 350 XP, 275 Avg.
Silver Knights: Prize 500 XP, 285 Avg.

GOLD LEVEL
