Farkle

Roll six dice, keep the scorers, and decide every turn whether to bank your gains or gamble them on one more throw.

How to play

On your turn you roll six dice and set aside at least one scoring die from each roll. You may keep rolling the remaining dice to build your total, but if a roll produces no scoring dice you Farkle and lose everything earned that turn. Bank to lock in your points. First player to reach the target score wins.

• 1s and 5s score on their own, along with triples, runs and other combinations
• Each roll you must set aside at least one scoring die before rolling on
• Roll no scorers and you Farkle — the whole turn's points vanish
• Clear all six dice and you earn Hot Dice: roll all six again and keep stacking

Tips & strategy

• The fewer dice you have left, the higher the Farkle risk — weigh that before rolling on
• Hot Dice is a free fresh start with all six dice, so push when you trigger it
