Farkle

How to play

Push your luck with six dice. On your turn, roll all the free dice and set aside at least one scoring die or combo, then either roll the remaining dice again — adding to your turn score — or bank it.

A single 1 is 100 and a single 5 is 50; three of a kind is the face ×100 (three 1s = 1000); four, five or six of a kind double, quadruple and octuple that; a 1-2-3-4-5-6 run or three pairs is 1500.

Only 1s and 5s score on their own — 2s, 3s, 4s and 6s score only in sets. Roll and get no scoring dice at all and you Farkle: the whole turn's points are lost. Set all six aside and you get hot dice — roll all six again to keep going.

You must bank at least 500 in one turn to get on the board (your first score); after that any bank counts. The first player past 10000 opens the final round — everyone else gets one more turn, and the highest total wins.
