My husband and I learned this game one cold, snowy day in New Berlin, Wisconsin back in 1975. Our neighbors had tried to teach us the card game, Sheepshead, a Milwaukee-area game, but we couldn’t get it. Farkle is so much more friendly to the Bridge-minded person! Sheepshead is apparently reverses a lot of the rules of Bridge.

I hadn’t thought about the game for several years, and while looking for Christmas decorations I came across a pocket version of the game. The next thing I knew, I was writing a Christmas card to the couple who had taught us the game. What fun it was back then, and what fun it will be to teach it to our teenaged grandsons on New Year’s Eve.

Glad to know it’s still alive and well!

We play that you need 750 just to get on the board. 10,000 is game, and you have to stop at exactly 10,000 to win. Then each player after the win gets one more turn to try to match the winning 10,000. I wonder what the 7’s count as???

OMG!!! I’m sooo confused!!!!

OK, so, say I roll: (three 5/one 3/one 4/one 6)

That’s 150 points (according to the point system I use)

Because I got points, I have the option to stop or I can roll dies 3, 4, and 6.

Now, if I do not score with those three, do I loose the 150 points from the three 5’s?

I learned to play Farkle years ago from my mother! While playing with an aunt & a cousin we had a situation that I need help in resolving! My aunt rolled & saved a 1,5 die! The next roll she had 2,3,4,6 & claimed a straight & continued rolling! My cousin said that it wasn’t correct because you cannot add on after the original throw of the dice. I bought the game & it didn’t answer this particular question!

Sorry tobring the truth to light but farkle was invented buy three stoners in the 1960’s and both versions were used 5 Dice and then eventually 6 Dice in and around 1972 they traveled a good part of the country (USA) teaching many people how to play this game I know I was one of them.

Hmmm… I technically get on the board, but my points are never added, thus I never get on the board. The computer does.
