Farkle Frenzy

I really like this game, but it feels like the algorithm is constructed to give the computer an advatage. I notice occasions where the roles are much higher scores on the first role, for the computer, than the ones I get. Not assured, and I do manage to win from time to time, just not as consistently as the computer. UPDATE: Developers, I just watched the computer beat me by gaining 5K+ points on the final round...TWICE. Two different games where it needed to earn over 5K points to win. I mean, what are the odds? I like your game, but that sort of thing really takes the fun out of it. UPDATE: Developers, maybe consider disabling the Collect button for the first role of a turn. It is easy to accidentally hit it and your role is forfeit.

I’ve only played Farkle once before, with a group of people who had all played it for years and could tally up the score of a roll in a split second. I had a hard time learning because they all rolled and swiped the dice so fast! It was very frustrating. This game, however, quickly taught me the patterns and combinations, though I wish the initial instructions had included the fact that you clicked on the dice you wanted to keep, and then the roll would re-roll the rest. It also took me a bit to learn that if you used all six dice, you could still choose Roll and keep going to try for more points. I especially appreciate that the ads are an unobtrusive banner on the screen. I’ve deleted more than one game because they forced me to sit through stupid repetitious videos of other games. I don’t want to watch a 15 second video and then have to click through several more screens to X out of an ad after every round! Good job to the developers! This is fun!

I’ve actually never played Farkle before until a friend recommended it. This app taught me how to play in just one round! It’s a lot of fun and one round takes about 5 minutes so it’s the perfect phone game. Give it a try even if you don’t know what the Farkle Farkle is.
