Yahtzee

1) On the Play Now screen there may be Yahtzee games available to join but then when you enter the lobby, most times it's a Yams game so you have to come back out, find another Yahtzee game and go through it all again. It should mention the variant on the Play Now page to save you clicking on all the lobbies to actually find a Yahtzee game. Most other games mention which variant it is without you having to enter the lobby to find out.
2) The Yahtzee game itself is different to the Yahtzee I normally play, the rules on the website are correct but the game doesn't play by them.
Underneath the game, the rules say:
9. Full House - 25 points
10. Small Straight - 30 points
11. Large Straight - 40 points
Yet on the scorecard you get 30 for a Full House, 15 for a Small Straight & 20 for a Large Straight. You can get more points for a three of a kind than you do for a large straight.
The rules also say:
Yahtzee - 50 points (plus, once you have scored 50 pts for a Yahtzee, a 2nd Yahtzee gives a bonus of 100 points)
Yet you don't get any extra points for more Yahtzees, you just have to fill in another box instead.
3) I've never heard of a Rigole in Yahtzee. I'm not sure why that is there.
4) It gives you the correct 35 points bonus for getting 63 or more points in the upper section but it has 30 points printed on the scorecard.
5) Just a nitpick but in every computer version of Yahtzee I've played you always click the dice you want to hold but here you click which ones you want to roll again. I imagine everyone finds that one out the hard way.
