About the game
What you do in a play session
If you love the thrill of rolling dice and watching your score climb (or plummet!), Speed Farkel is for you! This souped-up version of the classic Farkle is made for those who don't have time to waste. The big twist here is that everyone plays at the same time, which keeps the pace super fast and the competition blazing. The goal is simple: be the first to surpass the 10,000-point mark.
To kick off each round, a special 12-sided 'IGNITION' die is rolled to set a minimum score everyone must achieve. If you don't reach it, your turn is worthless! Then, the fun is trying to make the best dice combinations to rack up points, but be careful not to push your luck too far and end up with nothing. The game uses the same scoring combinations as Pocket Farkle, so those familiar with it will feel right at home.
With a capacity for up to six players, Speed Farkel is perfect for family gatherings or game nights with friends, guaranteeing laughs and that healthy tension of being so close to victory. It's a quick game, easy to learn, and promotes a lot of interaction since everyone is playing simultaneously. If you're looking for a dynamic dice experience full of twists and turns, you can bet Speed Farkel delivers that and more!
