FARKLE – How to Play (Revised 8/24/10)

• The game is played with 6 dice.

• On rolling the six dice, you can remove any dice that

score points. You have to remove at least one for each

roll.

• If no dice score points, you Farkle and lose any points

you have accumulated for that turn.

• You may continue rolling any remaining dice and

scoring more points until you decide to quit or you

Farkle.

• If you use all six dice to score, you may start over with

all six and keep your score going. However, if you

Farkle, you lose your points for the whole turn.

• You need to roll a total of 500 points to start the game.

• The game ends at 10,000 points. When the first player

goes over 10,000 points, all the rest of the players get

a final turn. The highest score wins.
