Yahtzee/Other Games

[bednobs]

When i was young we had yahtzee which had a kind of bowl that you threw the dice in and on the side was space for the dice you wanted to keep each turn. can't find that now - does anyone know where to get it?
Also, can anyone suggest any other games that would be suitable for a family game night that includes an 8 year old (therefore, something that eveyone has an equal chnce of winning)

I have Yahtzee, but I’ve had it for years, but you can play it on an app

Think you can still buy it but all you need are the scoresheets and 5 dice. We bought it about 45 years ago and still play. I used to photocopy the sheets at work. If you get stuck come back and I will send you a couple of scoresheets to get going.

Almost anything from the Happy Puzzle Company is worth considering, e.g.

Our neighbours 8 and 9 year old grandchildren love playing bingo, a good multi generation game.

This is the one we had Bednobs. It seems to match your description!
