Cacho Alalay is a popular dice game from Latin America. It is similar to Yahtzee/Yatzy. The purpose of the game is to roll five dice and score points from their combinations. The dice are rolled from a leather cup.
Many versions of cacho exist.[1][2][3][4] The main difference between versions is allowing a third roll of the dice, and instead making the turned dice (see below) optional. This article describes the Bolivian "Cacho Alalay",[5] which is the most common version played in tournaments organised in Cochabamba.
