Someone FARKELS! While in Alaska, DH and I saw this little pocket-sized game called, "Moose Farkel". This is a dice game where you can roll as much as you want as long as you continue to score. If you don't roll a moose or a five, or another set of "scoring dice" then you FARKEL!
I liked it because the box fits in the palm of my hand. And it reminded me of a game that I used to play with my Grandmother called "Blow up". I am pretty sure they are loosely related.
I took the game to the Caribbean with me. We played a few nights while we were there. And I've played some with the guys at home.
Today I found out that you can buy a whole "Party Farkel" kit..I guess in the same line as Bunco. At any rate, this little game is a lot of fun and easy to learn. It's light and portable too which would make it easy to take along to fill time while waiting in a restaurant or a doctor's office.
And who doesn't love a good distraction when you're waiting to get food or an examination?
And...speaking of fun and games....
I saw this meme over at Melli's earlier this week- and I loved it...so I'm copying. If you want to play along, let me know so I can come and see your answers.
