Two years after that, they went to Edwin S. Lowe, game and toy promoter, and requested him to produce sets of the game so that they could give it to their friends as gifts. Mr. Lowe saw the opportunity of marketing “Yahtzee” and got the rights to it from the couple and in exchange he gave them 1,000 gift sets.

It was Lowe who changed the name of the game from The Yacht Game to “Yahtzee”. At the beginning he has some problems commercializing Yahtzee since it was hard to advertise.
