It's Yahtzee DragonballZ style. This new game from Hasbro uses DBZ characters SS Goku, SS Trunks, SS Vegeta, Frieza 5th form, Android 17, Android 20, Cell and the infamous Dragonballs. Like traditional Yahtzee the game is played with 5 dice, but this game has a twist. The sides of the dice contain pictures of DBZ Heroes and Villians instead of numbers. A DBZ dice arena and gameboard also come with the game. This game can be played alone or with up to 4 players. Players roll the dice in an effort to achieve specific dice combinations such as 3 of a kind, any 5 heroes, 5 of a kind (Yahtzee), and many more. Unlike conventional Yahtzee, in DBZ Yahtzee when a desired combination of characters is achieved players collect tiles instead of marking down a score. Each tile has a value and seven of tiles contain a specific Dragonball. Each player wants to get as many Dragonballs as he can. But watch out for Cell, he can also collect Dragonballs. Enjoy DragonballZ Yahtzee and Good Luck!
