History of the game - While some sources will tell you it originated with Sir William Farkle (whoever that is), current Revolutionary War historians agree that the game actually came over on French sailing ships in the 1600's. The historic, traditional game - spelled "FARKLE" - was played with five dice and had varying rules and scoring combinations which were passed down in families. Consequently, how you played the game depended on whose house you were in.
Legendary Games is the originator of the modern version of the old Farkle. In 1996, to update the traditional game, they intentionally misspelled the name as F-A-R-K-E-L, wrote specific instructions, and included a "two triplets" scoring combination. Pocket Farkel is also the first version scoring three "ones" as 300 points. That's why they can call the game the "original". Today, Pocket Farkel is the most widely played version of the game.
