Spicy Farkel (2006)

About this game

This is a newer, advanced farkel. Instead of regular dice, included are "spicy" dice. Each of the six die has one side where the pips are red, and they alternate on each dice. When a red side is rolled it doubles your score. Plus this game's rules indicate that you play high stakes, where any dice left unrolled by a player, can be rolled by the next player, to add on to the original score.

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.
