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.

I wonder what the word was.

They probably tried to make one up to get rid of their Z.

Yahtzee isn’t words, it’s a dice game.

I’m guessing the merchant who sold the deadly Yahtzee game didn’t follow the Yahtzee 3 day waiting period.

When Yahtzee is outlawed, only outlaws will have Yahtzee.

(Sorry. Somebody had to say it.)

That would be Scrabble. A much less violent game.

Allen kicked in the door,

Older mobile homes have flimsy doors.
