Games by James outlets, a source of fun and entertainment to the thousands of families in the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and even internationally.
Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI (1888PressRelease) September 17, 2010 - Renowned for years of experience in the retail entertainment industry, Games by James retail outlets have been providing fun and enjoyment for families throughout the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and internationally at their website www.GamesByJames.com. Now they have added a classic family oriented dice game and related accessories to their product line-up - Farkel. From several different game packages to accessories such as flat packs and scorecards for the game, Games by James now carries and sells 6 different Farkel products.
For those of you who are not familiar with the game, Farkel is played with 6 dice and is played much like Yahtzee. The difference is that Yahtzee relates to Poker hands whereas Farkel is based on point scores determined by the numbers of the dice that are rolled as the game is being played. Although the origins of this folk game are unclear, the game never was marketed for sale until the early 1980's. Since 1996, it has been marketed under the Pocket Farkel label. Although the basic rules of the game are well-established, wide arrays of variations have been developed over the years.
