Farkle Dice Roller
Roll six dice for Farkle with realistic 3D physics. Farkle (also known as 10,000, Zilch, or Hot Dice) is a classic push-your-luck dice game — roll, score points, and decide whether to bank your score or risk it all on another roll.
How to Play Farkle
Roll all six dice. Set aside any scoring dice (see scoring below), then choose: bank your points and end your turn, or roll the remaining dice to try for more. If you roll and no dice score, that's a "Farkle" — you lose all points accumulated that turn. If all six dice score, you've "hot diced" and can pick them all up and roll again. First player to 10,000 points wins.
Farkle Scoring
Single 1 = 100 points. Single 5 = 50 points. Three of a kind: three 1s = 1,000; three 2s = 200; three 3s = 300; three 4s = 400; three 5s = 500; three 6s = 600. Four of a kind = double the three-of-a-kind value. Five of a kind = triple. Six of a kind = quadruple. Three pairs = 1,500. A straight (1-2-3-4-5-6) = 1,500. Two triplets = 2,500.
Farkle Strategy Tips
The key decision in Farkle is when to stop rolling. With 4+ dice remaining, the odds favor rolling again. With 1-2 dice, the Farkle risk is high (67% with 1 die, 44% with 2 dice). Always bank when you have 300+ points and only 1-2 dice left. Be aggressive early when you're behind, and play conservatively when you're ahead. Set aside high-value combinations first — don't break up a three-of-a-kind to save a single 1.
