<tr><td><tt>YAHTZE.BA</td></td><td>-101-</td><td>Dice game of Yahtze. Author unknown. Said in the book to be "Quite an elaborate and comprehensive implementation." However testing has shown some defects. For example, taking three of a kind never tests for a valid collection of 3 sames. The test for 4 sames in taking four of a kind isrelies on an ordering of the dice that is not enforced, so frequently valid four of a kind collections are ruled illegal. So it's a fun, but flawed artifact.</td></tr>
