Farkle Rules: At the start of each turn, the player throws all 6 dice at once. One or more scoring dice will be set aside after each throw. After this, the player may then either end their turn and bank the score, or continue to throw the remaining Dice. If all six dice are scored, they have a 'hot dice' and continue their turn with a new throw of all the six dice adding to the score they have already accumulated. If none of the dice scores in any throw, the play has 'farkled' and all points are lost for that turn. Features You'll Love: *Play Alone – Challenge yourself to reach the target.
