How to Get Yahtzee with Buddies

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.

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.
