If a player scores with all six dice, either all at once or after a few rolls, they can unfreeze their scored dice and start anew with the cumulative score they’ve earned so far. So as long as a player continues to roll combinations that score, they can keep going and accumulate more points. At that point, the player can choose to end their turn with the points they’ve earned, or keep rolling with the dice that haven’t been scored yet. They then set aside any number of dice they wish, so as long as the die or combination of dice scores points. To sum up the rules, a player will start by rolling all of their dice. They roll one die initially to determine who goes first (highest roll) and who keeps score (lowest roll). For the sake of this review, I’ll be referring to everything as “Farkel” since the game I am reviewing uses that word in its manual.Įach player receives a cup and set of dice of their color. Perhaps someone who has the time to research (I don’t) and explain the reason can leave a comment. It’s also worth mentioned that I have no idea why some games are marketed as Farkle and others as Farkel…the general idea for both games look the same to me. The rules that I’m about to touch on briefly may differ from the ones you are used to, depending on the version of Farkel / Farkle you own. A scoring guide is included at the top of every sheet.Įditor’s Note: In looking for Farkel Party’s manual online (which I couldn’t find), I found rule sets that involve slightly different scoring tables and endgame conditions.

The final round starts as soon as any player reaches 10,000 or more points.Farkel Party: 2-6 Players*, Ages 8+, Average Play Time = 15-30 Minutes. Play continues until it is your turn again. Then the next player rolls the six dice until they Pass or Farkle. You can continue rolling the dice until you either Pass or Farkle. You cannot earn points by combining dice from different rolls. Scoring is based only on the dice in each roll. The remaining dice may earn you additional points, but if you Farkle, you lose everything you earned during the round. 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 some or all of the winning die (dice) aside and rolling the remaining dice. If none of your dice earned points, that's a Farkle! Since you earned no points, you pass the dice to the next player. Points are earned every time you roll a 1 or 5, three of a kind, three pairs, a six-dice straight (1,2,3,4,5,6), or two triplets. You can practice rolling dice on our Dice Roller page.
