The purpose of this project is to explore and employ statistically sound strategies for maximizing the average result of solitaire Yahtzee. The game was broken down into its statistical base and analyzed from a strategic point of view. Based on the findings from the analysis an efficient and strategically sound algorithm was designed and tested thoroughly. The results and major parts of the strategy used are presented. The results gathered throughout this project support the idea that Yahtzee is a rational game for which there are sound strategies that yield favorable results. The algorithm proved to be efficient, both in terms of complexity and results, but was not optimal.
