Cheshire Cat Comes Out of Hiding

The Cheshire Cat has Come Out of Hiding

Cheshire Cat Challenge

Yahtzee with Buddies has made the Cheshire Cat come out and play against you for the next 48 hours.  The cat has been worn down and now it only takes 360 points to beat him.  Remember that it used to be 395 originally and then lowered to 380 and now finally to 360.

Many of you wrote in and shared your displeasure with how difficult to beat the Cheshire since he scored three yahtzees each time you played him.

You can play the Cheshire Cat over and over again if you have enough rolls to do it.  For others it may be the final opportunity to get the custom dice.

Have you beaten him?

April Showers May Flowers Showdown

Yahtzee with Buddies introduced the April Showers May Flowers Showdown. The showdown will go for another three weeks where you will get the opportunity to beat the dice masters over and over again.  You get a combination for bonus rolls and diamonds but the focus on the prize is diamonds.  The two tiers are labeled Bronze and each has five dice masters in them for a total of 10.

I had to use a triple replay on this showdown and tried to beat the whole showdown in one sitting.  It cost me an additional 20 bonus rolls to not lose my spot.  

The 345 avergage scoring PipFlower finally went down!

Here are the full detail on the showdown:

Downloading Yahtzee with Buddies

Yahtzee with Buddies App Store

Yahtzee with Buddies is available for iPhone, Android Devices and Facebook. I've played PvP on all three of these different platforms and there is a slight different game-play but it's pretty much the same.

So, if you want to get Yahtzee with Buddies for you iOS device you can download it through the App Store and Android Device users can get it from Google Play.  

For Yahtzee with Buddies there is the FREE version where you can play with ads and do an in-app purchase of bonus rolls to get rid of them.  Dice with Buddies has two versions: the FREE version with ads and the paid version without ads.

I downloaded the different versions to see what the difference was.

Cheshire Cat

Cheshire Cat in Yahtzee with Buddies Defeated!

You've seen the little sneak pop-ups - "Watch for the Cheshire Cat for rare prizes!" You have to beat the Cheshire Cat in 15 minutes or lose the game. (4/13/2016) I noticed that the time has been bumped up to 60 minutes. He has a 395 average (4/17/2016 - Lowered to 380) and will get three yahtzees in the game.  If you manage to win, you get 10 diamonds, a custom set of Cheshire dice, and 3,000 XP. 

The second time that you beat him in a row, you get 5,000 XP plus the 10 diamonds again. You can play Cheshire Cat again by "paying" 25 bonus rolls before the time runs out or it expires.  Don't worry if you get expired, the promotion lasts for another 22 days.  

You don't get a custom frame or other custom dice.  The message simply repeats for defeating the Cheshire Cat repeatedly.

As always, you get the "YOU WON" pop-up when you defeat the last dice master, in this case the Cheshire Cat.

"You are in the Top 1% of the players!"

If you tap on the continue, you are given the opportunity to keep playing the Cheshire Cat but you have to pay the skip price of 25 bonus rolls for the opportunity.

I have heard from others that Cheshire only appears for about an hour a day.  Catch him while you can.

How to beat the Cheshire Cat is the question when he averages a whopping 395!  Hope you have a few extra bonus rolls lying around.  Remember, the dice have what you need to beat him.  You heard that right!  Sometimes they aren't the dice that are obvious.


A lot of people write in and say they don't know what to look for and if the Cheshire Cat is even available or exists. I did a screenshot so that all can see what the secretive Cheshire icon looks like.

Make sure you hurry up because he isn't going to be around for much longer.

I've included a sample of the Cheshire Custom Dice that you win if you beat him.  I find the dice a little hard to read while playing so I don't think that I will be using these very much.
