Scoring Farkle
on paper will be
a thing of the past.
No more paper, no more scorecards; we’ll do the math for you. Plus, our fun graphics and sound
effects will help you keep up with the game.
Nothing beats the sound and feel of dice
rolling along a hard surface, but keeping score was always a bit dicey. Our app lets you enjoy the
benefits of digital scorekeeping while still keeping the game analog.
Add one die to the game that’s a different color than the rest. When that die lands on a 1 [ • ], you play it as any number that helps your roll. Example roll: 123156 the wild 1 is played as a 4 making a straight for 1500 points.
Once Player A stops rolling and banks their points, Player B has the option to try to build on those points using only the non-scoring dice the previous player has left. If Player B rolls a scoring die or scoring combination, they add up the current scoring dice plus Player A’s previous bank. This can continue around the table building on the previous rolls, but as soon as someone farkles, then they lose all accumulated points of the turn. The game continues with the next player rolling all 6 dice.
Determine a penalty value (-100, -500, etc.).

Spicy Farkel from LGI is a great variation on Farkle. Each die has one side where the pips are colored red. When it lands on that side and is part of a scoring combination the combo's points are doubled. A "Spicy" straight is an instant win!
From Playmonster Fun: Farkle Flip puts a new spin on Patch's popular Farkle game. Flip cards over, hoping to make combinations to help you win using your own hand or another player's hand. If you draw a Farkle, you lose your points for that round. But wait, you can score those Farkle cards later that's definitely a new twist on Farkle.
