Yacht is a public domain dice game similar to the Latin American game Generala, the English game of Poker Dice, the Scandinavian Yatzy, and Cheerio. Yacht dates back to at least 1938 and is a contemporary of the similar three dice game Crag. Yahtzee is a later development, similar to Yacht in both name and content.
