Controls

You play by rolling, setting aside scoring dice, and deciding whether to reroll or bank. Tap to roll the six dice, select the dice that score to keep them, then choose to reroll the rest or bank your total.

Some dice and combinations score and some don't:

• Scoring dice include single ones and fives, plus triples and larger combinations. You must set aside at least one scoring die from each roll to continue.
• The reroll gamble lets you throw the remaining dice to add more points, but if that throw scores nothing, you farkle and lose the entire turn's total.

Banking locks your turn total into your score safely and ends your turn. Hot dice, when all six score, let you reroll all six and keep building.

The first player to 10,000 points wins. The difficulty rises across eight levels as the opponent takes bolder risks.

Tips

• Bank a solid total rather than pushing every time. The more dice you reroll, the greater the chance of a farkle, so once you have a healthy turn total, banking it protects your gains from a single unlucky throw.
• Watch how many dice you have left. Rerolling one or two dice is far riskier than rerolling five, since fewer dice mean fewer chances to score, so the decision to stop should tighten as your dice dwindle.
• Chase hot dice when it's close. Getting all six dice to score lets you reroll everything with your total intact, so when you are one or two dice from a hot roll, it is often worth the push.
• Don't be greedy with few dice. The most common farkles happen on the last die or two, so banking before that final risky reroll is usually the wiser play.
• Adjust to the score. When you are behind late in the game, taking bigger risks makes sense, while a lead is best protected by banking early and often.
• Know the scoring before you commit. Some combinations are worth far more than singles, so recognizing a triple or a straight before you set dice aside ensures you don't leave points on the table.
