Summertop: I went to your link. This Farkel is very similiar to Dice. I clicked the next link a couple times and it had an Australian 5 dice game called "Keepers" This game is exactly the game I described except that it counts a straight as points. Both Farkel and Keepers count the straight or run. Farkel might be the better game. I haven't played Dice in a long time. I might just add an extra die to my five and give it a go the next time we all want to play something that even drunks can play and have fun. Though I still think Chess and Beer is a good game. :)
