Farkle Bot will suggest to you the best possible move as you attempt to play the dice based game. You can choose to play without its suggestions but it will always tell you if you roll a "farkle" (getting zero sets, straights, or 1s and 5s in a single roll).
Farkle Bot is mean and grumpy on occasion. He's a parody of the idea that there is skill behind games that are mostly random. Most of his advice is good advice though!
Using Farkle Bot:
1). To begin a game, you must manually update the dice rolls with 'Update' or roll randomly with 'Roll'.
2). After that, you may click on Farkle Bot to get his suggested best move to help you out.
3). Then you must choose your dice keeps (you may or may not use Farkle Bot's suggestions). Select each number you would like to keep by clicking on it (the red boxes along the top - they will turn green when selected), and then clicking 'Finish Selection'. Once you've done this, that button will turn green, and you may roll again (with 'Roll' or 'Update'), or end your turn. If you click on Farkle Bot again, he will probably say you farkled, because you haven't re-rolled.
4) Once you are done with your turn, click 'End Turn', and all the points in your subtotal will be added to your total, as well as a reset on the roll count, and update on the turn count. The game of Farkle may be scored differently in different groups, so the scoring is as follows: 50 for a 5, 100 for a 1, 100 * the number of the dice for a three of a kind, 1000 for four of a kind, 2000 for five of a kind, 1500 for a straight, 1500 for two triples, 1500 for three pairs, and 3000 for six of a kind.
There may be some bugs still to work out for the suggestion feature! Please report all bugs to
