Rules of the Game:

Roll all 6 dice, keep at least one die each roll (dice kept have to be worth at least 50 points), roll non-scoring dice again to see if you can add to your score.  Each player has to roll a collective amount of at least 500 points to get their name on the scoreboard, but after that they can stop at 50 points, or continue rolling to get as many points as they can.  If a player rolls a FARKEL – meaning they roll the dice and come up with no scoring points – their turn is over and they get no points for that turn.  First person to 10,000 points may win the game!  Once someone reaches 10,000 points, all other players are given ONE final chance to beat the winning score!
