TAMPA, Fla. -- A dispute over a game of Yahtzee ended in a fatal stabbing, police said.
Mark Kelvin Allen, 49, was playing the dice game with 47-year-old Edith Elliot at her home in Tampa's Ybor City neighborhood on Saturday night, an arrest report said.
They began to argue and Elliott went into a bedroom with her 49-year-old boyfriend.
Allen kicked in the door, scuffled with the boyfriend and then stabbed him twice, police said. The man, whose name is not being released until his relatives can be notified, later died at a hospital.
Allen was charged with second-degree murder and was being held without bond Monday, according to jail records.
Jail records did not list a lawyer for him.

This why Drunk Yahtzee should be outlawed. Naked Yahtzee rarely ends in tragedy.

Yahtzee is a family tradition in my house. One time there was a dispute over whether you can fill in 40 for ‘large straight’ if you roll a ‘Yahtzee’ after you’ve already crossed off ‘Yahtzee’ and you have the top filled in. (You can.) It never evolved into a knife fight, however.

I spent two three-years tours of duty in the Sunshine State. It attracts the Flotsam and Jetsam of the Americas. I’ve never seen so many dope peddlers, sex offenders, and just plain weird folk in my life.

If they had played Kismet instead of Yahtzee, the man would be alive today.

To: stainlessbanner
Not surprising. This is what happens when anyone can just walk in off the street and buy dice. You don’t even have to have a permit to play Yatzee.
Isn’t it time for common sense dice laws?

“I was drunk the day my momma rolled a yahtzee!,
I told her ‘momma! you’r on your fourth roll!’
She said ‘who are you? the bone-thrower nazi?’
That’s when her passion a-started to boil....”
She squared with me, and I knew it was comin’!
I ducked into my room, that yahtzee night!
Those hinges on that door sure are nothin’!
Now I’m starin’ down a Geunsue knife!.....”
