Just as you could score 3 1's as 100 points (3 separate 1's) or 1000 points, you can score four 3's and two 4's as three pairs for the 500 points.

We also played that when a player was successful we recorded those points and the next person could accept that score take the dice and continue. sister and brother-in-law introduced this game at a family gathering.

Yes, it uses 5 dice. The scoring is very different, trying to fill a sheet with certain types of scoring. Great game, but really not very much alike in scoring.

The person who taught me learned it from a French ex-pat in Thailand, where he was stationed during the Vietnam War in the mid-1960s. This Frenchman said he had learned it from Portuguese sailors in Polynesia during World War II. The Frenchman called it "Merde" and so it came to me as "Sh*t." (With the corresponding change in game terminology, e.g., "You're not likely to Sh*t rolling five dice.") The rules and scoring were much the same as the standards above, with a couple of variations I haven't seen mentioned here or elsewhere: 1) Rolling a Farkle (I'll use the less-scatological term :) with 6 dice is worth 1000 points and you get to continue. 2) One die is colored differently to the others; if you roll a 4 on this die, it's a wild card. Otherwise, this die is counted normally. Anyway, interesting to see this game has an even longer history than I was aware, and I'm pleased to see that it's unlikely to be forgotten! --Uroshnor Folks:
