Yahtzee Back To School

Yahtzee with Buddies

Dice with Buddies

The "Back to School" showdown tower started and you only have to face seven dice masters and have to beat Professor Threesium to obtain the pencil custom dice! Can you beat the tower in the 21 days that it lasts? Come on and give it a try before you get caught up with all the homework. 

Since this is such a short tower, there are only Silver (3 dice masters) and Gold levels (4 dice masters). Both Yahtzee with Buddies and Dice with Buddies have the same tower except that the colors are different. Again, the scoring is adaptive so if you're not the best yahtzee player, you still have a chance! Good luck and be prepared to show off your new custom dice.

Don't forget to beat Pastie!

Thank you, Lindsay!

Prof. Threesium, 40 Diamonds, 400XP, 150 Crowns, 319, 10BR

Defeated Prof. Threesium

You can put Prof. Threesium to shame but scoring a couple of yahtzees.  He will try to sneak a yahtzee in the top section so be sure to go for the knock out.

He will score the exact score that he says he will so there is no need to worry that he'll get that sudden yahtzee to blow you away.  If you're not even close...try the triple replay or second chance.












Tower Complete


Completion bonus is active for this tower meaning that you can earn some extra diamonds, XP and crowns for defeating the tower quickly - in the first five days.

The reward will get smaller as time goes by until the last day.

Roll Like An Egyptian

Yahtzee with Buddies

Dice with Buddies

Roll Like an Egyptian

You have 59 days to compete in the Roll Like an Egyptian Tower in both Yahtzee with Buddies and Dice with Buddies. This tower is a "score contoured." I made that phrase up to reflect what the system does when you play the towers.  If you do really well - have a high average then the score you'll need to beat the dice master will be higher.  Conversely, if you don't do well then the average of the dice master will go down so that you have a chance to progress through the showdown tower.

This tower also has 15 dice masters.  Below is what you'll need to beat the whole tower.  Remember that Scopely has also implemented the streak bonus and how many days that it takes you to beat the tower.  So it's another incentive to beat the tower quickly.  Both Yahtzee with Buddies and Dice with Buddies have the tower.

The length of this tower is twice as long as most of the others.

Summer Games Tower Yahtzee

Summer Games Tower

Yahtzee with Buddies

The Summer Games Tower did not start off with a 200 or so score.  It was 350 right off the bat!  I played the whole tower with the Dice with Buddies app to show that it is almost the same as Yahtzee with Buddies except that Yahtzee is orange and Dice with Buddies is blue.  Here's a shout-out to the lady that wanted me to not forget the Dice with Buddies players :)

8/4/2016 update: Lindsay wrote in and told me that her score to beat numbers were very different than mine.  I'm guessing that they adjust to your average or what your record is on other towers.  I'll try with another account and see what the trend is.

There is no frame for completing the challenge, only the custom dice (Gold Summer Games).  As usual there are five pips for the frame consisting of the gems.

I won the Gold Medal Custom Dice after using some Triple Replays and the second chance.  I should have just waited to the next day to save some bonus rolls but since most of you already know...I'm impatient.  Now on to the Dice Duels so I can win the volleyball custom dice! Incase you haven't noticed, I only post if I get a 15 streak beating all dice masters in a row without losing.

Ghostbuster Showdown in Yahtzee with Buddies

Defeat Rowan

Ghostbuster Showdown Tower

Ghostbusters is playing in the movies and competing on Yahtzee with Buddies. Of course Dice with Buddies has the same showdown. To beat the showdown, you have to defeat 15 characters in the three tiers: Bronze, Silver and Gold. If you notice, instead of showing the average that the dice master gets, the exact score that you must beat is displayed. I show this number as the last number on the detail line.

The amount needed to score in the upper dice masters seems to linger around 350 and if you defeat the entire ghostbuster tower, then the easiest dice master (Erin) ends up being in the lower three hundreds. You'll have to defeat the tower six times to max out the custom frame. The first victory is just to get the crown/frame and the next five are for the little jewels that surround the crown/frame.

Dice with Buddies has a blue background and Yahtzee with Buddies has the red background for the streak count.

Rowan Defeated!

You'll have to get at least a score of 352 for each of the silver and gold tier dice masters to beat them.  They will get the exact score that they need.  If you're not close, decide whether a fresh start or moving down a tier will be worth it to you based on how many bonus rolls you have to burn.

MIG Shot Down By Yahtzee Player

MIG Showdown

The MIG showdown is just like the Cheshire Cat showdown.  If you shoot down the MIG you get a custom MIG Vanity Frame.  If you beat or shoot down the MIG 6 times, you get the platinum dice! Since the challenge is only one dice master, the score is pretty high.  You'll have to get AT LEAST 320 points and as high as 380.  I have noticed that the average changes within this range.

After you beat the MIG six times, it starts all over.  You'll earn 3 diamonds and 250 XP, each time that you beat the MIG.

Remember that the MIG will only show for a very limited time and if you don't finish the entire 13 moves within that time limit, you'll get an error.  Basically, you ran out of time and Yahtzee with Buddies can't find your game anymore.

How do you beat the MIG?  This one was only 320 points but I have seen it as high as 380.


Award for Winning:




















Custom Vanity Frame:





















Defeat the MIG the first time and get the frame.  The next 5 times gets you the silver stars that surround the frame.

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?

May Flowers in Yahtzee with Buddies

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:

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.

Just in 4/27/2016: Cheshire Cat No Longer Hiding

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.
