Five Column Yahtzee takes the idea of classic Yahtzee and Triple Yahtzee a step further. You have five columns. Columns 1-3 can be filled with throws of the matching number for example first throw pair of sixes could be marked in the first column as a pair, 12 points. Or for the second throw you could decide to keep the pair and throw the remaining three dice getting a pair of fives, now you could mark it as two pair, 22 to the second column. Or you could hold on to the two pairs and throw the last dice third time, getting another five that you could mark as a full house, 27 to third column.
4th column is forced column from top to bottom, where you need to start from triple ones followed by triple twos etc. 5th column works similarly, but from bottom to top, starting from the yahtzee followed by sum etc. You can't skip any, but you can mark a dash (0 points) if you so choose or are forced to. For the 4th and 5th columns you can use 3 throws.
