Farkle Rules

I was at a party tonight, and was asked about my internet stuff, which happens often enough. The idea of hosting popular internet websites, even if you don’t make much off of them, seems to resonate well.

I mentioned my new Farkle Rules website, and I got responses like I seldom had before. About a third of the group knew of the game, and couldn’t say enough about it. When the others wanted more details, one of the guys said to “Hold on a minute,” and he got a game set out of his truck!  He takes the game everywhere. Now there is devotion. I’m sorry, but I don’t know anybody that drives around with Monopoly under the front seat!

Several of the women had played Bunco, and we talke about craps and even Yahtzee, but after about an hour of play, it was clear that Farkle was a HUGE hit.  The Dice guy and I had to work out some scoring details, but it all went well. Just goes to show what 6 dice, nice outdoor weather, and a full Margarita machine can do.

In deference to the Farkle Rules page. Here’s what you need for a really great Farkle Game.

• 7 people in bathing suits
• Commercial Margarita machine 90% full
• 6 Dice
• Score sheets and pencils
• Covered patio, 10 feet from the pool
• Snacks/chips/salsa/dip
• Big table, comfortable chairs

Of course our scenario was close to ideal so your mileage may vary.
