Many of King’s other achievements were overshadowed by his civil rights efforts. For example, King is less known for his role in inventing the game of Yahtzee. The idea came to him while he was playing back alley dice with some friends behind his church one Sunday. King originally called the game Hot Sauce after his favorite beverage, however later changed the name to Yahtzee, after the sound that his albino pet iguana, Honky, made while urinating. King intended for players to roll the dice in the end of a shattered beer bottle, but this version of the game never reached production. Following King’s death, his family sold the game rights to Milton Bradley to pay off the enormous amount of debt he created from betting on illegal Yahtzee matches.
