INTRODUCTION OF FARKLE
Farkle is a dice game that came about sometime in the 1980’s, and it is played many different ways. The rules and scoring can be quite simple or difficult depending on which variation is being played. Farkle is available for purchase in stores, but it is not necessary unless official score sheets are desired.

MATERIALS
All that is needed to play Farkle is a set of six 6 sided dice and a way to keep score.

THE PLAY
On a player’s turn, they roll all of the dice. They may set aside any of the point scoring dice they choose and continue rolling, or they can keep their point total and end their turn. Dice are scored as they are rolled, and combinations cannot be formed across multiple rolls. If a player is able to set aside all six dice for scoring, they may scoop up all six dice and continue their turn.

FARKLE

If a player rolls and does not get any 스포츠토토 dice, they have just Farkled. Their turn ends and they lose all the points they have accrued that turn. Farkles should be documented because a penalty is earned for every three Farkles.

EXAMPLE TURN

Player 1 makes their first roll. The results are 1,2,2,4,5,5. They decide to set aside the 1,5,5 for a total of 200 points. They choose to roll the remaining dice and get a 2,3,5. They set aside the 5 for an additional 50 points. Please note that the three 5’s cannot be combined to form a three of a kind because they were rolled on separate occasions. At this point, Player 1 has earned a potential 250 points, but they are greedy and decide to roll the two remaining dice one more time. They roll a 3,4 which earns zero points. They just Farkled meaning they lose all of the points they had accrued up to that moment, and their turn immediately ends.
