How to play Farkle
Each turn starts by rolling six dice. You must set aside at least one scoring die or combination, then choose: bank your turn's points, or roll the remaining dice to try for more.
If a roll has no scoring dice at all, that's a Farkle: you lose the points from that turn, but points you already banked are safe.
If you score with all six dice, that's hot dice: pick all six up and keep rolling.

Farkle strategy tips
- With only one or two dice left to roll, the chance of a Farkle is high. Banking is usually the smart play.
- You don't have to keep every scoring die. Setting aside just one 1 and re-rolling five dice is often better than keeping a weak 5.
- Push harder when you have five or six dice to roll; play safe with fewer.
