If this sounds like a lot of other dice games, it should because a similar premise is used by a lot of dice games. If you should fail to roll any dice that score you additional points though, you lose all of the points that you already earned on your current turn. If you roll a scoring combination you can then choose whether to keep the points you rolled or if you want to keep rolling the dice that you didn’t score to try and score more points. You also score points for rolling ones and fives though. These mostly involve rolling multiples of the same number or a straight. Basically players take turns rolling the dice in order to try and get various dice combinations. Like most dice games, the premise behind the game is pretty simple.

While not terrible, I wouldn’t consider myself a fan. With how popular the game is though, I decided to finally check it out. I had already played quite a few different games with the exact same premise so I didn’t really see any reason to rush and check out the game. Roll the dice and try to get different combinations. I had never played Farkle mostly because it just seemed like a pretty standard dice game. Since it was created back in 1996, Farkle has become a pretty popular dice game. After everyone has had one chance to beat the high score, the player with the highest score will win the game. Once a player’s score surpasses 10,000 points, all of the players will get one chance to beat the current leader’s total. In their second roll they rolled three fours which scores 400 points and a five which will score 50 points.

Four of Any Number With A Pair = 1,500 pointsĭuring their turn this player rolled a one in their first roll which will score 100 points.

The combinations that you can roll and how many points they are worth are as follows: For a combination to score points, all of the numbers in the combination must be rolled at the same time (you can’t use numbers from several different rolls). When rolling dice there are a number of different combinations that will score you points. As they scored with all six dice, they can roll all of the dice again.Īfter you bank your points or roll a “Farkle”, play will pass to the next player clockwise. For their third roll the player rolled a one on their last dice.
