RULES OF YAHTZEE GAME FULL

Warning! Three Farkles in a row and you lose 1,000 points. If none of your dice rolled earn points, you get a Farkle and lose any earned points that round. For example, if you roll a 5, 5 (50 points each x 2 for 100 points), and then roll another 5 (50 points), you can’t combine the 5, 5 with the 5, to form three of a kind (500 points). You cannot earn points by combining dice from different rolls. Scoring is based on selected dice in each roll. Each player gets one more turn to beat the high score.

When 10,000 or more points are scored, that player goes out. After you select the dice you want to keep you can either risk all the points earned this turn and roll the remaining dice (the fewer dice you roll the greater the chance you will Farkle, see Farkle Odds) or bank those hard earned points on your way to 10,000+ points. You must select at least one scoring die after each roll. The following combinations can be scored:

To win at Farkle you must be the player with the highest score above 10,000 points on the final round of play.

Play continues until it is your turn again.

When the player has either banked their points or Farkled, the dice are passed to the next player.

This “hot dice” move can be repeated over and over.

If the player has successfully with some luck and strategy used all six dice to score, then the player gets to roll all six dice again for a chance to earn more points.

If the remaining dice rolled do not have a scoring combination, then the player has “FARKLED” and points earned that turn are gone foreever.

The player can either bank the points earned that turn to their total points and pass the dice to the next player or risk the points earned that turn and roll the ramaining dice again, hoping to earn more points.

After rolling, the player sets aside specific dice combinations which have a score value.

Each player starts their turn by rolling six dice.

The goal is to be the player with 10,000 or more points on the final turn. In a Nutshellįarkle is a game of chance and strategy where two or more players roll dice which earn points. So if you for example roll 5 Fours and combination 4 is unused and you choose to select that combination, then the score will be zero points.Anywhere from 2 or more players, making Farkle the ideal family and friend game. With the Original Joker Rule (the official one from 1956 to 1961), the Yahtzee can never score any points in the upper section, only in the lower section.

So if you for example roll 5 Threes and combination 3 is unused and you choose to select Full House, then the score will be zero points. But if it is unused and you do not use it, then the Yahtzee cannot be used as a Joker in the lower section. Under this rule, it is not mandatory to use the corresponding upper section combination. If the corresponding upper section combination and all lower section combinations have been used, then an alternative upper section combination must be used (resulting in a score of zero points). The Yahtzee can act as a Joker for the Full House, Small Straight and Large Straight combinations, as mentioned earlier. If the corresponding upper section combination is used, then a lower section combination must be used. So if you for example roll 5 fives and combination 5 is unused, then it is mandatory to select combination 5 and thereby score 25 points. If the corresponding upper section combination is unused then it must be used now.

This is the official joker rule from Hasbro, the current owner of the game. There are three alternative versions of the Joker Rule:

In these cases the Yahtzee is said to act as a “Joker”. It doesn’t matter whether you scored 50 points because of an earlier Yahtzee, or whether you at some point selected the combination without a Yahtzee and therefore scored zero points.Īccording to the Joker rules, the Yahtzee can be used to score Full House (25 points), Small Straight (30 points) or Large Straight (40 points), even though the dice don’t meet the normal requirements for those categories. If you score a Yahtzee (meaning that all 5 dice are the same) and that combination has already been used, then a special Joker Rule applies. These rules do not apply to Yatzy and Yacht
