Yahtzee Game Overview

Yahtzee is a dice game involving five dice and a scorecard. Points are scored by rolling certain combinations of dice. For this assignment, the game will be played between two players, though typically, it can involve more players.

Differences from the Regular Game:

1. Number of Rolls: The game is typically played with 13 rolls per player. In our version, the number of rolls can vary.
2. Combinations: Our version will only include Four of a Kind, Full House, Large Straight, and Yahtzee.
3. Yahtzee: Points will only be given for one Yahtzee. Additional Yahtzees will not provide extra points.

Game Objective:

The player who has more points after all rolls are over wins.
