Well, I guess you need a bit of a down-under twang for it to work. I'm not making this up since I've already had two people know what I'm talking about. Anyway, let's not walk down that path... ;)

I've heard the game itself is a blast to play. :)

When I was growing up, my family called this game Five Thousand. It wasn't until my wife and I started dating as teenagers that I heard the game called Farkle.
