How to play Farkel Dice Game
Farkle (or farkel) is a fun dice game that is easy to learn and very addictive!  It can be played with any six dice, but what makes this Farkle dice game so special are the size of the dice. These are EXTRA LARGE WOODEN DICE that are easy to roll and see when playing with a group of friends.  Farkle Deluxe is great for playing ANY dice game, including bunco!

How can we offer Farkle Deluxe at such a low price?  We had a large quantity of custom dice (the spots on the opposite sides do not add up to seven) made for one of our puzzles.  Some of them had imperfections that did not meet our high quality standards.  Therefore, we bundled them with an attractive cloth bag from another one of our puzzles and offer them to you at a very low price!
Object

The player with the highest score above 10,000 points on the final round of play wins!


How to Play Farkle

Each player takes turns rolling the dice. When it's your turn, you roll all six dice at the same time.

Points are earned every time you roll a 1 or 5, three of a kind, four of a kind, three pairs, or a six-dice straight (1,2,3,4,5,6).

If none of your dice earned points, that's a Farkle!  Since you earned no points, you pass the dice to the next player.

If you rolled at least one scoring die, you can bank your points and pass the dice to the next player, or risk the points you just earned during this round by putting the winning die (dice) aside and rolling the remaining dice.  The remaining dice may earn you additional points, but if you Farkle, you lose everything you earned during the round.

Scoring is based only on the dice in each roll. You cannot earn points by combining dice from different rolls.

You can continue rolling the dice until you either Pass or Farkle. Then the next player rolls the six dice until they Pass or Farkle.  Play continues until it is your turn again.

The final round starts as soon as any player reaches 10,000 or more points.

History of Farkle

Farkle is an ages-old dice game. It has the advantage that it can be played with just a set of 6 dice and some paper for scoring. It requires no cards, the counting is easy, and it can be taught in just a few minutes. It also contains a good deal of strategy. 

The original game is said to have been first played in Iceland by Sir Albert Farkle in the 14th century. Since then, it has been played in a few different styles, but the original game has survived for over 700 years.

The first printed reference to Farkle is found in a festival directory printed during the time of Shakespeare.
