About the game
In this Star Wars dice game, take your points for the roll, or push your luck to score even higher to win and gain the Force. Includes six six-sided dice emblazoned with iconic images from Star Wars in a re-sealable tube. The rules are similar to Farkle in that three-of-a-kind gets you 100 times the value (R2-D2 = 2, C-3P0 = 3, Stormtrooper = 4, Yoda = 5, Boba Fett = 6, Darth Vader = 10). You also get points for single rolls of Darth Vader (100 points) or Yoda (50 points). If you set aside some scoring dice, you can re-roll the others, but if you ever roll without any scoring dice, Jabba takes your points. However, if you score all six dice, then the Force is strong with you, and you can re-roll all six if you want to press-your-luck. The first person to score 5,000 points wins.
