Farkel is an exciting, high-scoring dice game for the whole family. It only takes minutes to learn, and luck, guts and strategy to win. Do you stop tossing the dice and be satisfied with your score or do you gamble that you can get more? Originally played on French sailing ships and listed as one of the best games in the world, Farkel is an exciting, on-the-edge-of-your-seat game that's enjoyed by everyone.

Players take turns rolling six dice, aiming to get certain scoring combinations (4 of a kind, a straight, etc.). You can roll as many times during your turn as you like, but if you roll and there are no scoring combinations, this is known as a farkel, and you will lose all points gained in that turn. The first person to score over 10,000 points wins.

Scoring
Combination Example Score
Six of a Kind (1 1 1 1 1 1) 4000 pts.
Straight (1 2 3 4 5 6) 2000 pts.
3 Pair (1 1 2 2 3 3) 2000 pts.
Three Aces (1 1 1 2 3 4) 1000 pts.
Three of a kind (2 2 2 3 4 6) (100*value) pts.
Single Ace (1 2 2 3 4 6) 100 pts.
Single Five (5 2 2 3 4 6) 50 pts.

All dice in a roll can be scored. Thus, a roll of (1 4 2 4 4 5) would score:
100 (ace)
400 (three fours)
+50 (five)
550 pts.

Of course, you could keep the ace, or the five, or the three fours, or any combination. But you must keep something to be able to roll again.

A roll of (1 5 1 5 5 1) would score:
1000 (three aces)
+500 (three fives)
1500 pts.

and...you would be able to roll all of the dice again
