You can actually have all 4 players be computers if you’d like. To play against the computer (Premium Version Only), Just go into settings and click the checkbox next to the player that you would like to be the computer. On the other hand, if a player is way ahead, it moght be worth while to play it safe and “Coast” through the remaining turns by not taking more than 1 roll per turn. If a player is way behind and it is nearing the end of the game, more risk might be needed to catch up. If the roll has no significant value, it might be better to only select 1 die (preferably a 1, but a 5 will work also) and roll again. When the player is satisfied with the turn, save the score by using the “Save Score” button.Īt least 1 die of value must be selected after each roll. If the player farkles in any of these bonus rolls, all points for that turn are lost. When this occurs, it is known as “Hot Dice” and the player is allowed to roll all 6 dice again, adding to the score. Once in a while, the player manages to use all six dice (either in one or several rolls). If the remaining dice rolled can not make a scoring combination, then the word “Farkle” appears on the screen indicating that the the player has FARKLED and forfits all points for that turn. Sometimes selected dice will show a ? until enough dice are selected to make a value (as in 3 of a kind).Ĭommon scoring combinations are shown in the game on the right panel, but there too many other scoring combinations to show them all. If any die has a ? over it, the die has no value and must be removed before the player can continue. The selected dice in the dice holder are automatically calculated for the best possible score. Because it was the first roll, however, the player recieves 500 points and the turn is over.Īfter selecting the best dice, the player can either bank the points earned that turn to their total points and pass the dice to the next player or risk the points earned that turn and roll the remaining dice again, hoping to earn more points. If the no dice values occur on the first roll, then the word “Farkle” appears on the screen indicating that the the player has FARKLED. These dice are automatically sent to the bottom dice holders. A turn is made up of from 1 to 6 rolls.Īfter rolling, the player selects specific dice combinations that have the best score value. The game is designed for 1 to 4 players (3 & 4 players only in premium version), with each player in succession taking a turn by using the “Roll The Dice” button to roll 6 dice. The goal is to be the player with highest score at the end of the final turn. Farkle requires strategy and a little bit of luck. Many consider it the best dice game in the world, perhaps second only to Yatzy.
