Strategy Yatzy

This game is not related to the classic dice game Yatzy (better-known as Yahtzee).

The game consists of an 8 x 8 grid in a vertical frame, similar to Connect Four but only accessible from one side. The players roll four dice and insert four chips into the board with symbols corresponding to the results (the symbols are hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds). Whoever gets three or more of the same symbols in a row may score, but a player may choose not to score yet. The more symbols in a row, the more points are scored. When all players have scored four times or when the frame is full, the game ends and the player with most points is the winner.
