Hasbro and Scopely Launch ‘New YAHTZEE With Buddies’ for iOS
Scopely, one of the best known companies in the interactive entertainment business, has partnered with Hasbro to revamp the YAHTZEE franchise with a brand new mobile game called New YAHTZEE With Buddies. The game’s predecessor, YAHTZEE With Buddies, was a huge hit with more than 20 million downloads and was the #1 grossing free-to-play mobile board game for some time.
The New YAHTZEE With Buddies brings together fans of the classic game and adds faster and more dynamic roll-to-win style gameplay and social features. With this revamped version of the game, it’s now easier to play with friends and challenge them against one-on-one competitions in a new game mode.
“With New YAHTZEE® With Buddies, Scopely and Hasbro are dedicated to translating the classic board game into a modern, customized experience on mobile devices that still holds true to the core gameplay that makes YAHTZEE so timeless,” said Javier Ferreira, president and chief operating officer, Scopely. “Each new feature was created to give players an even stronger sense of competition and progress – from making turns faster to ensuring there’s always someone to compete with wherever they are.”
Gamers now have access to a redesigned experience with faster, more rewarding gameplay through a newly designed game board and updated graphics. New YAHTZEE also adds new ways to celebrate progress with hundreds of custom dice and collectible Dice Master characters.
