Yahtzee uses "valid poker hands" and dice for scoring too. They sell that in toy stores.
Yatzhee is dice. It uses combinations of numbers. They turn into points. Before you make any other ridiculous comparisons the idea is to perform to standard. Not to lower the standard. Gambling is a serious addiction and making games about it is a serious issue.
So is craps, one of the most popular casino games on the planet.
You can't gamble with dice?
I played Yahtzee once and now I hustle back alley Craps foe drug money.
If you want to be reductive everything is gambling. Even your birth.
I mean the kinds of gambling that might trigger someone with a gambling addiction. Isn't that where you were coming from?
