Farkle - Dice Game
Farkle - The Dice Game That'll Hook You for Hours
Stumbled across Farkle while browsing dice games, and man, what a find! This classic scoring game has been around forever, but this digital version by Skill Cap Games really nails it. Released on 11.13.2024 with a fresh update on 02.06.2025, it's got that perfect mix of luck and strategy that keeps you coming back for "just one more round."
The beauty of Farkle? Anyone can learn it in minutes, but mastering the risk-reward balance takes real skill. You're constantly deciding whether to bank your points or push your luck for a bigger score. One bad roll and you lose everything - that's the thrill right there.
How to Play
Roll six dice, pick the scoring ones, then decide - bank your points or re-roll the rest? Score 10,000 points to win, but watch out for "zonk" rolls that wipe your turn clean. The tension builds with every decision: play it safe or go for broke?
Strategies and Tips
Smart players know when to stop. Banking 300-500 points early is often better than risking it all for that elusive 2,000-point turn. Keep track of your opponents' scores - sometimes you need to take bigger risks when you're behind.
