Dice. Who knew that there are so many different fun ways that you can use them?! Now that you've got them, let's have some fun!

Here's a few of some of our favorite dice games (some are even kid-friendly).

Farkle (or Dice 10,000)

The player with the highest score above 10,000 points on the final round wins.
How to Play

Decide who goes first by having everyone roll one die. Whoever has the highest number goes first. Play then continues to the left. The first player rolls all 6 dice. The player can decide to keep as many scoring dice as he/she chooses, but must keep at least one. (See scoring section). Place the scoring dice off to the side and roll the remaining dice. Again the player may keep as many scoring dice as he/she chooses, but must keep at least one. Place scoring dice off the side and roll remaining dice.

Play continues until:
- Player decides to stop and keep that score OR
- Player doesn't roll any scoring dice and loses score OR
- Player has kept all 6 dice. In this case player MUST roll all 6 dice again adding to previous score.

Note: You must earn 1,000 to start scoring (meaning you can't stop with 600). Once you reach a score of 1,000 or more you are "on the board". Any turn after you are on the board you may keep any score you want (even if it is 100). The Final Round When a player reaches 10,000 (or passes 10,000), every other player gets one more roll. Player with highest score wins.
Scoring

1- 100 points
5- 50 points
Three of a kind of 1 - 1000 points
Three of a kind of 2 - 200 points
Three of a kind of 3 - 300 points
Three of a kind of 4 - 400 points
Three of a kind of 5 - 500 points
Three of a kind of 6 - 600 points

For each number over three of a kind you double the amount (example 3 2's =200, 4 2's =400, 5 2's =800, 6 2's=1,600).

Pairs and Straights. When a player rolls 1,2,3,4,5,6 when rolling all 6 dice this is a Straight. When a player gets 3 sets of pairs when rolling 6 dice this is Pairs. Pairs and Straights are worth 5oo points.

Note: Three of a kind must all be rolled together. Rolling a 1 and then rolling another 1 and another 1 is 300. Rolling 3 1's at a time is 1000.

Beetle

Be the first player to draw a complete beetle. The body parts you draw are determined by the throw of the dice.
How to Play

The part drawn is decided by the roll of a die. The traditional rolls are:
  • 6 is for the body, of which there is one.
  • 5 is for the head, of which there is one.
  • 4 is for the wings, of which there are two.
  • 3 is for a leg, of which there are six.
  • 2 is for an antenna, of which there are two.
  • 1 is for an eye, of which there are two.

The part corresponding to each roll of the die, however, may vary depending on the rules established by the players.
It is necessary to roll the correct number for the body before any other part may be drawn. To the body, one may attach the head, legs or wings, but the head must precede the antenna and eyes. The first player to draw all the requisite parts is the winner.
