searching for yahtzee variation where you attempt to score the least possible points

Question

years ago, there was an app called yahztee adventures where there was a rules variation that the intent was to score less than your opponent, and ideally the least possible score

there were some rules that forced you to score points, but i can’t remember all of them. the only one i do remember is that if you end up with a final set of dice that can score points, you must record points (you can’t just zero everything one at a time)

rules i think might exist but am not sure:

  • you must roll all three times no matter what

  • you must record the highest possible point total of your final set, e.g. if you had 1-2-3-4-5, you couldn’t record a 1 in one 1’s, you must record a 40 in large straight (if it’s open)

this app can’t be downloaded anymore otherwise i would just play and find it. i have been searching for this ruleset off and on for years, and i really don’t think i made it up myself

if anyone has any clue what the actual rules are, or were, i would be infinitely grateful. and if i did make it up, help me make the rules! i have ideas for different formulations of rulesets i’d be happy to share, but i’m looking for the “official” rules

any and all help appreciated!
