We "invented" this game for the family years ago. You roll the dice and pick your number. Your turn continues as long as the number of dice with your number is higher than the number of rolls. (So if you have 5 threes, but you don't roll a three on your sixth roll, your turn is over) Your receive points based on how many matched dice you end up with before your turn ends.
You also receive bonus points for 10 matching dice achieved in less than 10 rolls. (10 matching dice in 8 rolls is worth more than 10 matching dice in 9 rolls)
Our family record is 3 rolls. We have never had a 4, we have had a couple of 5, and once you get to 6, while they are still rare (and will almost always win you a game) they happen. 7's happen once every 2 or 3 games.
The legendary 3 rolls was 5 matching dice on the first roll. 2 on the second roll and 3 on the third roll. We were jumping around yelling like we had won the world series.
Fewest Rolls Needed To Make A "Yahtzee" With 10 Dice
