FARKLE RULES

You will need: 6 dice, paper and pencil

How to play : Each player must score 1000 points in one turn to ‘get on the board’. If aplayer ‘farkles’ before reaching 1000 their turn is over and they pass the dice to the next player.Once a player has gotten on the board they can quit at any time during their turn, regardless ofhow many points they score during that turn.Play to 10,000. Once someone scores 10,000 (or more) the remaining players have one last turn.There are ways you can vary the game at this point. If someone beats the original player whoreached 5,000, they can be declared the winner, or if you want to continue playing, let eachplayer have one more turn, each time anyone beats the high scorer.

How to score: Players begin by rolling all 6 dice. In order not to ‘farkle’ each roll in aturn must come up with something that ‘counts’. Scoring dice are set aside and contribute theirscore for that turn. If a player decides to continue rolling during their turn they use the remainingdice. If at any time ‘all’ the dice produce points the player has the option to begin againwith all six dice. This still counts as one turn and should they ‘farkle’ (roll and come up withnothing that scores) they will lose any points accumulated turning that turn. Once points arerecorded they cannot be lost.

What counts:

All six dice the same..............................1,000

3 pair........................................................1,000

A straight (1 through 6)..........................1,000

3 ones......................................................1,000

One.........................................................100

Five..........................................................50

3 of any number equals that number times 100 (except ones they equal 1000) i.e.

3 twos........................................................200

3 threes......................................................300

3 fours........................................................400

3 fives........................................................500

3 sixes........................................................600
4 of any number equals that number times 200 (except ones they equal 2000)
5 of any number equals that number times 300 (except ones they equal 3000)
6 of any number equals WINS the game

Have fun, play fair and take a risk now and then!
