Antwoord

Ik neem aan dat je Yahtzee bedoelt!? Ik denk dat het een fantasienaam is met een oosters tintje.
The game was invented in 1954 by anonymous Canadian couple, and called "The Yacht Game" because they played it on their yacht with their friends. Two years later they asked toy and game entrepreneur Edwin S. Lowe if he would make up some sets to be given as gifts to their friends who enjoyed the game. Lowe perceived the possibility of marketing the game, and acquired the rights to the game from the couple in exchange for 1,000 gift sets.

Lowe changed the name to "Yahtzee." He initially had trouble selling the game commercially, since the rules and appeal were not easily conveyed in an advertisement. Eventually he had the idea of organizing "Yahtzee parties" where people could play the game and thereby earn a firsthand appreciation for it. The idea was successful, and enthusiasts quickly popularized the game through word-of mouth. Milton-Bradley purchased the E. S. Lowe company in 1973.
Waarmee er wederom weer een probleem is opgelost... nou ja niet echt natuurlijk.
