Twisted Farkel (2011)

About this game

Publisher Blurb: Twisted Farkel is sure to excite all Farkel fans and draw even more newcomers to the game. In this exciting version the points one player rolls are not his/hers to keep. The Determinator Die passes the final score for a given turn to players on your left or right. Additionally, unlike regular Farkel, players go out of the game once they reach 10,000 points. The winner is the remaining player with less than 10,000 points. With TWISTED Farkel, passing HIGH scores to your neighbor is the object of the game. When a player FARKELS, (i.e. score no points) their fellow players benefit.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
