Such a lovely area! Stop at this little park and have a good time razzing the guys on the golf green close by. Watch their approach shots miss right, left and beyond. Hoo boy! My kind of golfers! :)
We stocked this ammo can with 15 Farkel games. 13 are "pocket farkels" and are packaged in 35mm film canisters. 2 are in small first aid type containers. That's the swag, every bit, except for the log book, golf pencils, and pen. Feel free to leave any kind of trade items, we just want to get these Farkels circulatin'.
Why farkel? We stopped at an estate sale in Sparks this summer and found a .25 cent bin full of these guys. It's a fun game, perfect for geocaching fans! Try it and you'll see what we mean. Happy Farkling!
ps do yourself a favor and bring an old golf club with you when you get to GZ. It's muggle armor. ;)

Play
Farkle is played by two or more players, with each player in succession having a turn at throwing the dice. Each player's turn results in a score, and the scores for each player accumulate to some winning total (usually 10,000).
* At the beginning of each turn, the player throws all six six-sided dice.
* After each throw, one or more scoring dice must be set aside (see Wikipedia link for scoring details).
* The player may then either end their turn and bank the score accumulated so far, or continue to throw the remaining dice.
* If the player has scored all six dice, they have "hot dice" and may continue their turn with a new throw of all six dice, adding to the score they have already accumulated.
* If none of the dice score in any given throw, the player has "farkled" and all points for that turn are lost.
* At the end of the player's turn, the dice are handed to the next player in succession (usually in clockwise rotation), and they have their turn.
Once a player has achieved a winning point total, each other player has one last turn to score enough points to surpass that high-score.
