Roll 6 dice online

Six dice is the standard set for Farkle and its many relatives. Tap the dice, press Roll or hit the Space bar to throw all six. Tap any die to set it aside; it stays put on the next roll while the others are thrown again. The total, from 6 to 36, appears above the dice, and the average is 21.

Farkle, 10,000 and Zilch

The game goes by many names, but the core is the same. Roll six dice, set aside at least one scoring die, then decide whether to bank your points or roll the rest. Ones are worth 100 and fives 50; three of a kind and better combinations score more, with the exact values depending on the house rules. If a roll scores nothing, you lose everything earned that turn. With all six dice, that only happens about 2.3% of the time under the common rules where three pairs and a straight score. With fewer dice left, the risk grows fast: about 28% with three dice and two chances in three with a single die.
