Farkle is a dice game with origins in the Elizabethan era. It can be plaid by two to too many to count.
All that is needed to play: 6 dice, the rules, a way to write scores for each turn for each player. It is played in a series of turns where each player throws the dice in the original sequence.
What sets Farkle apart and makes it a fantastic game to play with a group is that the players are all engaged with each other on every throw. Any single throw can totally change the game. Play continues until a player exceeds the agreed to limit, usually ~ 10,000 points.
Each yacht participating in the Annual Cruise received a red draw-string bag with a set of dice and a set of Farkle rules.
So have at it!
