Standard Farkle Scoring
Standard Farkle uses two basic scoring rules that everything else builds from:
- Single 1s and 5s always score — 100 pts per 1, 50 pts per 5, regardless of what the other dice show.
- Three or more of a kind score — the face value multiplied by 100 (three 4s = 400 pts). Three 1s are the exception: they score 1,000 pts, not 100.
Everything else — four-of-a-kind, five-of-a-kind, straights, three pairs — follows from those two rules or is a bonus combination. The full chart is below.
Full Farkle Scoring Table
| Combination | Points |
|---|---|
| Single 1 | 100 |
| Single 5 | 50 |
| Three 1s | 1,000 |
| Three 2s | 200 |
| Three 3s | 300 |
| Three 4s | 400 |
| Three 5s | 500 |
| Three 6s | 600 |
| Four of a kind | 1,000 |
| Five of a kind | 2,000 |
| Six of a kind | 3,000 |
| Straight (1–2–3–4–5–6) | 1,500 |
| Three pairs | 1,500 |
Four-of-a-kind doubles the three-of-a-kind value. Five-of-a-kind quadruples it. Six 1s = 8,000 pts in most common variants (doubling from 4,000 for five 1s).
Hot Dice
Hot Dice is not a scoring combination in itself — it's a rule that activates when every die in your roll scores. When Hot Dice occurs:
- Your accumulated turn score is safe
- You pick up all six dice and roll again
- You continue accumulating points for the same turn
Example: You roll six dice and get 1-1-5-3-3-3 (100+100+50+300 = 550 pts). All six dice scored. You have Hot Dice — roll all six again and add whatever you score to your 550.
Hot Dice chains — multiple Hot Dice triggers in a row — are the highest-scoring sequences in Farkle and can turn a mediocre turn into a 3,000+ point round.
Common Scoring Variants
House rules vary significantly between families and editions. Here are the most common variant scoring rules you may encounter:
Six 1s
Standard: 3,000 pts
Variant: 8,000 or 10,000 pts
Many groups double five-of-a-kind value: 4,000×2 = 8,000.
1,000-pt minimum bank
Standard: 500 pts first bank
Variant: 1,000 pts first bank
Some variants require 1,000 to "open" the score rather than 500.
Four pairs
Standard: N/A (only 3 pairs on 6 dice)
Variant: 2,000 pts
Rare — some variants play with 8 dice and score four pairs at 2,000.
Two triplets
Standard: Sum of both three-of-a-kinds
Variant: 2,500 pts flat
Some house rules award a bonus for two separate three-of-a-kinds in one roll.
How to Keep Score in Farkle
Scoring in Farkle is cumulative within a turn and additive across turns. Here's the process:
- Roll all six dice and identify scoring combinations
- Set aside the dice you want to score (at least one per roll)
- Add the scored dice value to your turn running total
- Roll remaining dice, or bank your turn total into your cumulative score
- If you Farkle, your turn total resets to zero — your cumulative score is unchanged
A simple running score on paper works fine. Write each player's name as a column header and add banked turn totals after each successful bank. Our free online Farkle game tracks all scoring automatically.
