Yachtzee is a very addictive and fun game to play! Now you can take Yachtzee anywhere on your Pocket PC. You can play up to 8 players on Yachtzee. The animations are stunning. As you roll the dice, the dice sweep across the score sheet into their perspective slots and reveal their face values. If you haven't played Yachtzee, don't worry because we included the rules in detail, which is easily accessable from the main menu. Once you start playing Yachtzee, you'll never want to stop. Highscores are kept so you can compete against you previous scores. Dazzling graphics and awesome sound packed into one small exe. You won't find that anywhere else!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050203-yachtzee_sp.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Yachtzee is loaded with features including support for 8 players, undo, scoreboard, and full control over sounds and animations.

I tried running this on my Mpx220 two times. Both times I had to take out the battery and restart the phone as it froze the phone twice. Each time when I tried to enter my name (which you have to do before playing). I wish it had worked. I really like Yatzee! Anyone else have this problem???

Was it this version? It looks like this was just updated yesterday. It could be a new - better - more stable version.

I haven't had a chance to try it out. It's been a busy 24 hours. If I get a free moment later this afternoon, I'll try it out and let you know.

Was it this version?.

Yup....downloaded from Handango.com last night about 10 pm.

Glad there is a trial version, as this won't install on my i600. Too bad.

There is a problem with compatability with the Mpx220. They are working on a fix for it right now. :D

The game has now been fixed for the Mpx220 and works great!!!! If you like Yachtzee and have a Smartphone...you need to give this one a try. Very good looking interface!!! :D

ARW,

What kind of troubles are you having? You can email us at support AT atechware DOT com. Or you can email me directly at OHayden AT atechware DOT com.

The only issue reported was with the MPX220 and we quickly moved to solve it.
