How to Score 880 in Yahtzee with Buddies Part 2

How to Score 880 in Yahtzee with Buddies

Perfect 880 Score
9/1/2016. Caution: You may be sent to the cheater's board. You've been warned.

Getting a score of 880 in a Premium or Daily Tournament takes time. About one or two hours and multiple devices are required to accomplish the 880 score.  This is part II in the post on how to get 880 (a perfect score or 13 yahtzees).  You can read part I here. Thank you for being so patient to those who wrote in to the blog and emailed me.

Some resort to more devices so they don't have to stop and clear the cache (android phones) or reload the app (iPhones).  Someone wrote in and said they had 12 devices!

How do you get 13 yahtzees and not just any 13 yahtzees in a row?  In order to be successful at getting this score, you'll need to score the first yahtzee worth 50 points and it can be any of the yahtzees.  It doesn't matter you get 50 points.  The outline for how to get the next yahtzees are outlined below.




1) 50 points any yahtzee to start off with

2) Go for the upper section dice 1 through 6.  Try to get a yahtzee of each of those.  You must get a yahtzee of each of them.  Doesn't matter in what order, just all of them.  Getting the yahtzees with the correct dice will yield 440 points.

3) You MUST get 3 additional yahtzees of 6s.  One for the three of a kind, One for the four of a kind, and one for Chance.  This alone is 180 points.
Multiple Devices for Getting 880

4) The next three yahtzees can be of anything.  You just need to get three yahtzees and score them in the Full House, Small Straight and Large Straight.  Try to get them in that order.  The reason is that if you can't get a yahtzee the ability to get 25, 30, 40 points will still be possible. The bottom section will also give you 440 points.  Combined with the upper section: 880 points!

5) If you have yahtzee with buddies on Facebook, you can use one turn as a life-saver.

6) Use your triple replay as a last resort meaning that you've used up all the devices and didn't get the yahtzee you needed.

For the devices: They must be different devices.  If you have some that are the same, they will all generate the same rolls! Example: If you have two iPhone 5s' then it won't work. (Thanks to the lady that allowed me to use her devices as an illustration) The method illustrated above also works on Dice with Buddies.

It costs 30, 40, or 100 bonus rolls to play the premium tournaments but the daily tournament is free.  The prizes for the premium tournament can go from 1,000 bonus rolls to 2,000 bonus rolls.  Most of the time the average is 1,000 or 1,800 bonus rolls.

Is this cheating?  The only way to get the platinum dice is to win a premium tournament three times.  This means getting 880.  I have not seen a day that the winner hasn't gotten the perfect score.  It would be nice if the people using these techniques would stick to the premium so that those with not very  many bonus rolls could stick to the daily free tournament.  Better yet, have Scopely fix it (several techinques are available to prevent) so that it is fair for everyone.



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!

Unlock Pink Star Custom Dice in Yahtzee with Buddies

The Pink Star dice are between the mint custom dice and the chocolate strawberry custom dice.  They are offered for the price of 400 diamonds for the third season of dice duels.

They are kind of plain for me and don't have the cool factor.  But these just might be what you are looking for?

Of course they are limited time and may be offered in some other way like getting a 1-5 finish in the premium tournament or winning the daily free tournament.

Do you have 650 diamonds burning a hole in your diamond bag?  Did you collect a lot of diamonds from playing the dice duels and don't know how to spend them?  Now you can add chocolate strawberry custom dice to your collection.

The chocolate strawberry and the pink star are the two that are offered with the dice duels season 3.
