General
A player rolls the dice to begin a turn. They are then allowed to reroll dice, with each reroll being any number of those dice. (In BGA, you click on the dice that you want to reroll.)
After those rerolls, or when the player chooses to stop rolling, the player must choose which category to score the final result. There are limited scoring categories, and each must be used for one of the rounds. This can often force a player to take a zero score for some categories.

Simultaneous Mode
All players play simultaneously. Rolled dice and selected scoring boxes are revealed at the end of the round.
Triple Mode
Each player has 3 scoring columns per scoring category. The second column scores double, and the third column scores triple.
To use a five of a kind as a Joker in Yahtzee, the player must have filled all 3 Yahtzee columns and all corresponding upper section boxes already.
To score an extra Yahtzee bonus in Yahtzee, the player must have scored all 3 Yahtzee columns already and must score at least 1 point from any other scoring box. Then, the multiplier according to the selected scoring column will be applied to the extra Yahtzee bonus gained.
