The original, six-dice game is said to have been first played in Iceland by Sir Albert Farkle in the 14th century. Since then, Farkle has been played in a few different styles, but the original game has survived for over 700 years. Farkle is played by two or more players, with each player in succession having a turn at throwing the dice. Each player's turn results in a score and the scores for each player accumulate to some winning total (usually 10,000).
