Farkle

A press-your-luck dice game for 2–6 players. On your turn, roll 6 dice, set aside at least one scoring combination, then choose to bank your accumulated points or roll again with the remaining dice. If no dice score on any roll, you Farkle — losing all points accumulated that turn. First to 10,000 wins.

Turn Structure

Roll all 6 dice (or remaining dice if some are set aside).
After the roll, you must set aside at least one scoring die or combination.
If no dice score — you Farkle: lose all unbanked points for the turn. Your turn ends.
If dice score, choose:
- Bank: add accumulated turn points to your total score. Turn ends.
- Roll again: roll remaining dice. Repeat from step 1.
Hot dice: if all 6 dice have been set aside and scored, you may roll all 6 again, adding to your turn total. The turn does not end.

Scoring Combinations

Combinations are scored per single roll, from dice not yet set aside.

Combination	Score
Single 1	100
Single 5	50
Three 1s	1,000
Three 2s	200
Three 3s	300
Three 4s	400
Three 5s	500
Three 6s	600
Four of a kind	2× three-of-a-kind value
Five of a kind	3× three-of-a-kind value
Six of a kind	4× three-of-a-kind value (or 3,000)
Straight (1–2–3–4–5–6)	1,500 (house rule variant: 3,000)
Three pairs	1,500

1s and 5s only score individually when not part of a three-or-more-of-a-kind combination.

Getting on the Board

A player must score at least 500 points in a single turn to record their first score (get on the board). Points below 500 cannot be banked until the first qualifying turn.

Winning

When a player reaches 10,000 or more, each remaining player gets one final turn to try to exceed that score. The player with the highest score after all final turns wins. Ties are broken by a sudden-death roll-off.
