The original game is said to have been first played in Iceland by Sir Albert Farkle in the 14th century. Since then, it has been played in a few different styles, but the original game has survived for over 700 years. So there must be something to it! Six Dice Farkel Classic The classic game of guts and luck is Farkel and this is the classic Farkel set. It is still small enough for portability, the game tube measures 4.5" tall and 2" wide. It includes 6 regular sized blue playing dice, a roll-up score pad, miniature pencil, and instructions. One of the world's best dice games, Farkel is a fun, fast-paced, high-score game that takes just two minutes to learn. You roll six dice, remove only the dice you want to use for points, and then re-roll the remaining dice. Some scoring dice must be removed after every roll. If you can eventually make all six dice count for score, pick them all up and keep going. If none of the dice you roll count for score, you lose your turn and any points you made during that turn. The first player to score more than 10,000 points, wins. Six dice plus feeling lucky equals Farkel! For 2 or More Players, Ages 8 and Up. Warning: Choking Hazard - Contains small parts not suitable for children under 3 years.
