Introduction

Welcome to the achievement guide for Yahtzee for Windows Phone. For anybody unfamiliar with Yahtzee, it is a dice game where the goal is to score the most points by rolling to get certain combinations such as full house, straights, or five of the same dice, which is a Yahtzee. You have three rolls to get these combinations, and can hold any dice to try and maximize your score. The Windows Phone version contains five variations of the game and also features an adventure mode which is great to learn the game. The achievements are all pretty straightforward, needing just as little bit of luck to get, but the majority will come through grinding.

Step 1 - Adventure

 

Start off by playing through the adventure mode. There are ten opponents to play and beat, and this will be a good education of how to play the different game modes. The opponents are not particularly hard, and you will maybe at most have to challenge each opponent 2 or three times each until you beat them, most likely less. After beating the Sensei, you will have unlocked 5 achievements for 35:gsicon:

Step 2 - The Grind

 

Most of the achievements will come during the grind for your wins. You will need 100 wins in Classic, Rainbow and Duplicate mode, and 50 wins in Battle mode. The easiest way to do this is by playing yourself, that way you can guarantee you win every game. To make things go a little faster, go into options and turn Speed Play on, this will make each game go faster.

During your classic wins grind, you should pick up "Full Path", "Back At You" and "Maestro", and while playing Rainbow go for "Color Juggler". "Battle Master" will be no problem in Battle mode if you are controlling both players.

You cannot view stats for individual game types, but you can see your total wins in Extras>Statistics. Only wins from custom games count (not adventure), so it is advisable to grind one game mode before moving on to the next.

 

Step 3 - Mop Up

 

You should be at 195:gsicon: now, although if you are missing any of the miscellaneous achievements then play on in whichever game mode is needed. The one you will still definitely need will be "Minimalist". You can just do Play Now games for this one, as no opponent is needed

 

Conclusion

There it is, after what feels like a really long grind, 200/200:gsicon: is yours! Wasn't so bad, was it! The game is solid enough, but a bit too grindy for many people. With a bit of patience, and a box set of something decent to watch it isn't too bad as you don't have to pay much attention.

Finish the adventure

 

Play though the adventure mode, you will need to defeat a total of ten opponents in different game modes. Each chapter you will face two or three opponents, followed by a Battle game at the end against everyone. They shouldn't give you much trouble and it is the best way to learn the different game modes.

Score 10 Yahtzees

 

This is cumulative over all game modes. To score a Yahtzee, you need to have all five dice the same. You can hold any amount of dice on each of your rolls. This should come naturally as you play towards your 350 wins.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2604/-Eit1A==.jpg Maestro 10:gsicon:

Score 300 in classic

 

This should come naturally when grinding your wins. 300 may sound a lot, but if you get the upper bonus (score 65 or more from the top row), at least one Yahtzee, and a decent middle score you should be able to get it easy. Yes, it does require a little luck, but over 100 games you will get such luck more than a few times.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2604/-o9BSQ==.jpg Color juggler 10:gsicon:

Score 400 points in Rainbow

 

This is one of the more difficult of the miscellaneous achievements to get. Your score does not need to be perfect, but you will need to do very well (read: get very lucky) to get over 400. You will need the upper bonus (score 65 or more from the top row), at least one yahtzee and at least a couple of the color combinations (flushes). A good middle row score will help as well. This should come while grinding your 100 wins, but may take a few extra games.

Win with 100 pts in Battle

 

Play a 2 player game so that you control both players. You should be quite easily be able to engineer yourself this win. With the second player, always pick 0 score combinations, with player 1 only go for the middle row or Yahtzee. Try not to use the "?" box, as this can sometimes poison you, causing you to lose points.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2604/+iP8qQ==.jpg Minimalist 5:gsicon:

Score 5 in a game

 

There is only one way to score 5 points in a game. You will have to get yourself a Yahtzee roll with all ones, then select the "?" box to score you five points. Every other turn you will have to get no points whatsoever. This is easier said than done, so keep on playing until you get the roll you need. You do not need to play an opponent to get this, so just use Play Now games until you get lucky.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2604/+AL1HA==.jpg Classic Sensei 10:gsicon:

Win 100 classic games

 

Use Custom Play, and start playing Classic games with 2 players. You can engineer every game so you win every time. Each game should take you around 1-1:15 minutes, until you get back to the Custom Play screen.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2604/UP4gC4M=.jpg Rainbow sensei 15:gsicon:

Win 100 rainbow games

 

Use Custom Play, and start playing Rainbow games with 2 players. You can engineer every game so you win every time. Each game should take you around 1:40-1:55 minutes, until you get back to the Custom Play screen.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2604/UP-A8xA=.jpg Duplicate sensei 15:gsicon:

Win 100 duplicate games

 

Use Custom Play, and start playing Duplicate games with 2 players. You can engineer every game so you win every time. Each game should take you around 1-1:15 minutes, until you get back to the Custom Play screen.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2604/UP3h+qU=.jpg Battle sensei 15:gsicon:

Win 50 Battle games

 

Use Custom Play, and start playing Battle games with 2 players. You can engineer every game so you win every time. Each game should take you around 1:35-1:50 minutes, depending on what rolls you get until you get back to the Custom Play screen.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2604/UPwBAjY=.jpg Back at you 15:gsicon:

Win a classic game while your opponent scored a Yahtzee

 

Use Custom Play, and start playing Classic games with 2 players. With player one, play as you normally would, trying to score as high as possible. With player two, just play for a Yahtzee. Any roll you get that is not a Yahtzee with player two just pick a 0 scoring box or as low as possible. This shouldn't take too many games to get and you can get it while grinding your wins.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2604/UPmj6c8=.jpg Full path 20:gsicon:

Get both the top and bottom bonus in the same classic game

 

This can be pretty tough to get, and requires quite a bit of luck, but you should be able to get it while going for your 100 wins. Just try and get a Yahtzee for every turn, as getting the bottom bonus is harder (you need to get two Yahtzees to get the bonus), then concentrate on scoring over 65 on the top row to get the top bonus.
