Thanks Kristy!
If you get ANOTHER Yahtzee do you use it as the number task or do you get to use another Yahtzee task?See Mama's Yahtzee Post #96
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
***For multiple Yahtzees, Joker's Rules will be used-If you have already rolled a Yahtzee and used that task, then you can-
1. First check and see if the number you rolled the Yahtzee with (ex. Yahtzee with 3s) is open..
2. If the upper area number is already taken (ex, 3s), then you may fill in any lower area task. (i.e. 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, full house, large straight, small straight, chance).
3, If all of the lower area tasks are taken, then you can put the Yahtzee in any other upper section task that is open (i.e. 4s).
Even though you are putting the additional Yahtzee in another task area, you can still follow the rules for the Yahtzee- read any book of your choice!!
I hope this helps!
