One player is chosen to begin and play moves clockwise around the table. Farkle is a game of chance and strategy where two or more players roll dice which earn points. The goal is to be the player with 10, or more points on the final turn.

You must select at least one scoring die after each roll. When 10, or more points are scored, that player goes out. Each player gets one more turn to beat the high score. Scoring is based on selected dice in each roll. You cannot earn points by combining dice from different rolls. If none of your dice rolled earn points, you get a Farkle and lose any earned points that round.

Three Farkles in a row and you lose 1, points. The 1 and 5 spot dice are super special, as they are the only dice that can be scored outside of a combination such as three of a kind. Your first rolls show 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 6. You keep the 1 points and the 5 50 points for points. You then opt to roll the remaining four dice. On that roll, you get 2, 2, 2, and 6. You select the three of a kind 2, 2, 2 for points and decide to bank your points plus So if it is over how would I get to 1, points to even get to count on the board?

Thanks for clearing this up. You are correct. After you roll the last 1 and 5, you not only get to keep rolling, you have to keep rolling. When you get all 6 dice as point dice, you have to roll all 6 again to continue adding to your score.

If you roll a 6-die Farkle, then you lose it all. We are confused. The first one to reach 10, did so by rolling two pairs of 3 each for points. Not wanting to lose those , he left them on the board and went out at 10, points. The next player took the points and added to it to reach points to his score, going out on his turn at 11, to win the game.

No one else exceeded that score. The first player, having reached 10, points, left all six dice on the table so that the next player could roll and add to the which he did. Was this a correct play or should he not have been allowed to add to the prior score? As I see it, the only error was that the first person should have rolled the six dice that remained after he reached the Is there an official rule that applies and did we play this correctly?

That is not a part of the original rules. Second of all, in the original rules, if all 6 of your dice are point dice, you cannot stop at all. You HAVE to roll all the dice again. When you play with alternative rules, you need to set up how those rules work before you start the game. The fourth four is meaningless. I play with a group of women who when they roll all six dice and get a good score, they do not want to roll again.

They think it is an option to quit. Is this one of those rules where different groups play with one rule and another play with another rule? The player may continue to roll any dice that have not been previously set aside for scoring, but all of their points gained so far that turn are lost. Set value, 4 of a kind is scored as or , 5 of a kind is scored as or and 6 of a kind is scored as , or You continue rolling until you either Pass or Farkle.

Then the next player rolls the six dice. Play continues until it is your turn again. In a lot of ways, Farkle feels like an over-simplified Yahtzee. Both are dice games.

Both rely on poker-inspired combinations. But while Yahtzee requires a certain level of skill and knowledge to make the best possible hand, Farkle relies entirely on luck and greed. Third roll one remaining Die : This 1 , brings your running total to
