How a turn works
Roll six dice, set aside at least one scoring die, then choose to roll the rest or bank what you have. Score nothing on a roll and you farkle: the whole turn is lost. If all six dice score, you have hot dice and roll all six again with the total carried over. Most houses play to 10,000 with a 500-point minimum for your first bank.
Common questions
- Do you have to keep every scoring die?
- No. You only have to set aside at least one scoring die each roll. Keeping fewer dice aside leaves more dice to roll, which is often the better gamble early in a turn.
- What is the minimum to get on the board?
- The most common house rule is 500 points in a single turn before you can bank anything. Some families play 1,000, others play no minimum at all.
