Roll The Bones is a Macintosh dice game by Mikael Sheikh, described by the author as a rather simple implementation of games resembling the classic American dice games Yahtzee and Triple Yahtzee. Distributed through Info-Mac as version 3.2.0, it targets a broad range of classic Mac OS releases.
Yahtzee-style gameplay
The game follows the familiar Yahtzee scoring formula of rolling five dice across multiple turns and assigning each roll to a category on a scoresheet, plus a Triple Yahtzee mode that extends play across three parallel score columns.
System requirements
Roll The Bones requires System 6.0.2 or higher and is explicitly noted by the author as compatible with System 7, 7.1, and 7.5, covering most of the classic Mac OS lineage in active use during its release.
Version 3.2.0
The Info-Mac submission carries the version string rollthebones_v3.2.0, indicating a mature, iterated release rather than an early prototype.
Distribution
The title was submitted by Mikael Sheikh (sheikh@server.Stanford.EDU) as a BinHex 4.0 archive in the Info-Mac game/brd (board) category.
