Ten Thousand Dice Game Score Sheet and Rules

A dice game for 2 or more players with six dice. It's the game Farkle grew out of, and many families still play it under this name with their own house rules.

Your turn

• Roll all six dice and set aside at least one scoring die or combination.
• Keep rolling the dice you have left to build your turn total, or stop and add it to your score.
• If a roll doesn't score anything, your turn ends and you lose the points from this turn.
• If all six dice have scored, pick them all up and keep going.

Scoring

Many tables also count four, five and six of a kind as 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000.

Getting started

A lot of groups require a minimum turn, often 350 or 500, before your first points count.

Winning

The first player to 10,000 starts the final round. Everyone else gets one more turn to pass them.
