Farkel!!!


OK... who here has heard of Farkel?? It's a fun dice game that can be played with 2-6 players or even teams or you can even have Farkel parties similar to Bunco parties. It's totally different than Bunco though. It's a game of guts AND luck!  I went to the Merchandise Mart today to look for new products to carry and we know this will be a  hit. The game below that JP is holding is the Mini-Farkel and it's about the same size as the old 35mm film containers. Inside are 6 smaller dice and instructions. We ordered "themed" Farkel games as well as the original colored games. We also ordered the regular sized dice games that come in a colored flip top box. It's a lower price point but it's super fun and will surely be a hit for any game lover! It says ages 8 and up but JP picked right up on it and even figured out the ideal strategy after a few rounds. I just helped him add his score as you count in the 100's and the first to 10,000 wins! NO... it doesn't take forever to play. LOL

Anyway... here are some pics from our friendly game tonight. JP won BOTH times!!!!

Checking out his roll... any 1's or 5's JP???
Rolling the Dice!!
Pulling the dice he will use as points.. and getting ready for another roll!
I can't believe Jake slept through our screams, shouts and giggles but here he is... snug on the couch. WITH a pillow of course!  Silly dog.


So... we are fans of Farkel and I recommend it to everyone! Fun for the whole family! If you need a game I can hook you up!!! :) What's your favorite color?
