How to Score 880 in Yahtzee with Buddies

Have you entered one of the daily FREE tournament or premium tournament in yahtzee with buddies?  You feel really good about your 455 points you got as your final score and then realize that someone just got 880 and you may have a shot at an honorable mention.

Did you say, "What the cuss?!"  or "How the cuss did they get that 880 score?!"  Your immediate thought is:  this game is rigged or someone is cheating, or even maybe - why even play since there is no possible way I'm going to win this cussing game.

The best you can hope for is to accomplish the honorable mention achievement and get the "sunshine custom dice."

If there is a prize other than the 200 or 1,800 bonus rolls something like a black diamond custom dice, then probably the top five or so will get 880 (aka perfect score, 13 yahtzee game). 

How do you feel about the daily tournament or the premium tournament?

Casino Red Custom Dice in Yahtzee with Buddies

How to Get the Casino Red Custom Dice in Yahtzee with Buddies

In order to get the Casino Red Custom Dice, all the Trick Play challenges must be completed.  In other words, complete each trick five times.  There are nine things to do:

Epic Finish - Play a Yahtzee on your last turn.

Even Steven - Tie a Game in person versus person.

Three hand Bandit - Score three Yahtzees in one game.

Silver Platter - Score a Large Straight with only one roll.

Easy Does It - Score a Small Straight with only one roll.

Four Hand Bandit - Score four Yahtzees in One Game.

Zero the Hero - Win a game scoring zero (0) on your last turn.

Precision Fail - Score only five points in a game.
Perfect Start - Get a Yahtzee on your first turn.

The difficulty in order in my opinion: Even Steven, Four Hand Bandit, Three Hand Bandit, Perfect Start, Epic Finish, Precision Fail, Silver Platter, Easy Does It, Zero the Hero.

The only one that most people have difficulty on is precision fail. A game must be completed, meaning all 13 turns must be finished. No forfeits count.  Score a five of a kind of all 1's and score it in the chance. After that, score zero in all the other twelve boxes. Your total will be 5 and you'll lose the game.  "Even steven" is rare, but if you see that you might tie, then ask your opponent if they will help out.  Usually they do because it helps them accomplish the same achievement that you are going through.

If you can accomplish the above items, then you will automatically earn the purple custom dice.  The purple dice state that the casino red and blue dice must be claimed.  As you might recall, the blue dice are earned by beating five opponents.

Good Luck!
