Game Play:
A turn begins by rolling all six dice. If the roll results in any points, the player will keep the dice worth points and has the option to roll the remaining dice again. If rolling again, the points from previous rolls are at risk.
If no points are rolled, known as a Farkle, your turn is over with no points being awarded. After a point roll, a player can take the points and give up his/her turn.
If a player rolls points with all six dice (in any amount of rolls), the points roll forward, and all six dice can be rolled again.
Winning:
Once a player reaches 10,000 points, the other players get one more turn. Once those turns are completed, the player with the highest score wins the game.
Rules:
A player must score a minimum of 500 points in order to get on the scoreboard. After that, a player can stop and score any amount of points.
A player cannot add dice to previously set aside dice.
