Default Yahtzee!!

Yesterday, I was playing Yahtzee and hit 3 6's on my last roll (to go with the 2 6's already on the table) to win. Best ending ever.

I just needed to share that with everyone. Sorry for the non-poker thread.

I shared the odds with everyone I beat. They were not impressed.

Winning with 666 was extra special. :P

I love playing Yahtzee. My wife and I used to have a weekly game with a bunch of friends. Dime a point (just to keep it friendly). Lot's of fun. I usually came in dead last because I could never get the 40 points for the large straight. Frustrating.

I had to get someone I was with to multiply out 6^3 when I told them the probability.
