The Coven's Cast — A Farkle Game

Six bones, a cauldron, and your own nerve. Cast your fortune — but know when to walk away with what's been given, before the bones fall silent and take the offering with them.

How the Bones Fall

Read the rules once — the dice will teach you the rest.

1.Cast six dice. Set aside at least one bone that scores, then bank your turn or cast the rest again.
2.Cast and nothing scores, and it's a Farkle — the whole turn's offering is lost, though what's already banked stays safe.
3.Score all six bones in one turn and every one speaks again — cast all six once more and keep building.
4.You need 500 points banked in a single turn before you can start keeping score at all.
5.First to the winning score triggers one last cast for everyone else at the table.
6.Bank before using all six, and the next player may play off what's left — starting their own turn with your banked points and rolling only the bones you didn't use — or sweep the table and start fresh with all six.

A seat marked Spirit-Led plays itself — the coven keeps every scoring bone it can, and knows roughly when the risk of an empty cast outweighs holding on for more.

The Word

"And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD."

Ezekiel 37:3–4
