Special Rules
1
Hot Dice: If all 6 dice score in a single turn, you pick up all 6 and keep rolling! Your accumulated turn points carry over.
2
Final Round: When a player reaches 10,000 points, everyone else gets one last turn. Highest score wins — so even trailing players can go all-in!
Strategy Tips
💡
The expected value of rolling drops fast as you set aside dice. Rolling 1 remaining die has a 67% chance of Farkle (only 1s and 5s save you). With 2 dice it's about 44%. With 3+, it's usually worth rolling. Bank early if you have a solid turn total (500+) — consistency beats big swings.
