How to Play Froggy Farkel

Froggy Farkel is a special edition of standard Farkel by Legendary Games Inc. The dice vary from standard dice by using the image of a frog for the No. 1. The rules for Froggy Farkel are the same as regular Farkel, sometimes spelled Farkle. Other editions include the Big Ol' Bear, Moose and Pirate Farkel sets.

Things You'll Need

2 or more players
Farkel dice set of 6 dice
Pencil and paper
Dice shaker (optional)

Instructions

- 1
  Roll a dice for each player. The highest score goes first, followed by second highest and so forth.
- 2
  Roll all six dice. Bank all the dice, or set aside one or more and roll the remaining again to try for a higher score. Banking is the term for keeping the current score of the dice.
- 3
  Add up your score. Every 1 is 100 points. A 5 is 50 points. Three or more of one number is equal to 100 times that number, except No. 1, which is equal to 1,000. If all dice are scoring dice, or those that award points, the player gets to roll again.
- 4
  Continue rolling the dice in turns until one player reaches 10,000 points. Each player receives one extra turn to try to beat the winner.
- 5
  Choose carefully when re-rolling dice for extra points. At any time during the game, if a player does not roll any scoring dice, he loses all his points accumulated so far. It is customary at this point for the other players to shout "Farkel."
