Pocket Farcal is a Game that you will want to try this Summer!

A game that is new to many but actually has been around for a long time is Pocket Farcal.  For those of you that still remember (ha!) when we actually put film in cameras from little round canasters (before digital) and for those of us who still have a camera that uses film, you will find this new game to be an interesting addition to your family entertainment.  The Pocket Farcal game is actually 6 dice in a little canaster that are used to roll for points.  As long as you can keep scoring points (according to the game's simple rules), you will keep rolling.  However, if you don't score points, it's a FARCAL.  I think kids (of all ages) love this simple game because FARCAL sounds like something your mother said you shouldn't say. 

Lena and Ole's carries Farcal in 3 versions — one with yellow dice called "Cheesehead" Farcal (of course since we are in Wisconsin and Ole is a die hard Packer Fan), Wisconsin Farcal — also yellow for our great cheese, and Uffda Farcal — blue dice (I have no clue as to why the dice are blue).  The game is great because it fits in your pocket, your purse, and travels well on a plane or in the car.  It's available at Lena and Ole's Gifts in Woodville, Wisconsin for only $5.95 with an optional score pad for $2.49.  Call me and I'll send you both for $9.50 including shipping.  It can be played by your family from age 5 to 105 and together — no age gets bored or frustrated because it's too difficult.
