Confusion between normal Yatzy and Yahtzee setting for us Swedish players.

Post by Phantasy4 »

I saw that they retranslated the options and before was it two choices with same name 'Yatzy" and now another changed to 'Maxi-Yatzy'.
But if I switched language to English it says 'Yatzy' and 'Yahtzee'.

But it was kinda wrong and is different rules between Yahtzee and Swedish Maxi-Yatzy.

Maxi-Yatzy must be played with 6 dices instead for 5 and with some another rules.

I found English text describing this.
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/20182/maxi-yatzy.

Full rules (only swedish) on the Wikipedia page, but the link to English language is wrong rules as Yahtzee.
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxiyatzy

Maybe it is mere a translation error, because we Swedish players almost never played Yahtzee.

But I maybe can suggest the Swedish rules adds as a new rule option and name this as "Swedish Maxi-Yatzy" for English users?
