Loot boxes suck but the only thing separating this game from gambling is the use of real money. It's literally a poker game.
This is the Steam Store description -
Yeah they were always going to get PEGI 18. This moaning is just a way to sell their game.
Yahtzee uses "valid poker hands" and dice for scoring too. They sell that in toy stores.
Yatzhee is dice. It uses combinations of numbers. They turn into points. Before you make any other ridiculous comparisons the idea is to perform to standard. Not to lower the standard. Gambling is a serious addiction and making games about it is a serious issue.
So is craps, one of the most popular casino games on the planet.
