ScoreNightWhat the sheet prints
The top of the sheet shows the game name, a date line, your game night name and your two key rules, for example “Get on the board: 500 · Win: 10,000”. Below that, each player has two columns: Score for the points banked that turn and Total for the running total. A one-per-page sheet holds up to 30 turns and the scoring chart; two to a page holds 15 turns each without the chart.
Writing the running total each turn means nobody has to add up a long column at the end, and it's easy to see when someone is close to the winning total.
The scoring chart on the sheet
| Dice | 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 to 6 | 1,500 |
| Three pairs | 1,500 |
| Four of a kind + a pair | 1,500 |
| Two triplets | 2,500 |
Single 1s and 5s score on their own; other numbers score only as part of a combination. If you choose Double each extra die, four of a kind is twice the three-of-a-kind value, five of a kind four times and six of a kind eight times. The scoring chart page explains each combination.
How a turn works
- Roll all six dice.
- Set aside at least one scoring die or combination.
- Stop and bank the turn's points, or roll the remaining dice to add more.
- If a roll has no scoring dice, that's a farkle: the turn scores 0.
- If all six dice score, you have hot dice and can roll all six again.
A player's points don't count until they bank the entry minimum in one turn. When someone reaches the winning total, everyone else gets one last turn, and the highest total wins.
Keep score on a phone
Open Keep score on this phone. ScoreNight shows whose turn it is; type the points and tap Add, or tap Farkle (0). It keeps the running totals, ignores a turn below the entry minimum until the player is on the board, starts the final round when someone reaches the target and names the winner. Undo last turn fixes a mistyped score.
Printing for a big group
Farkle works with any number of players, and the sheet takes up to 8. For a bigger crowd, print two sheets and split into two tables, or play in teams with one column per team. Set How many sets to print a stack for the season.

Frequently asked questions
How many points do you need to get on the board in Farkle?
Many families play 500: a player's first score only counts once they bank at least 500 in a single turn. Some play 350 or 1,000, and some have no minimum at all. Set yours under Points to get on the board; 0 means no minimum.
What score do you play Farkle to?
10,000 is the most common target. When a player reaches it, everyone else gets one more turn to beat that total. For a shorter game, play to 5,000.
What is a farkle?
A roll with no scoring dice. The player loses every point from that turn and the dice pass to the next player. On the sheet, write 0 for the turn.
What are hot dice?
If every one of the six dice scores, you can pick them all up and roll all six again, adding to the same turn's points. Many tables require you to roll again after hot dice.
Do three farkles in a row cost points?
Under some house rules, yes: three farkles in a row lose 1,000 points. It isn't universal. The phone scorer doesn't apply it, so subtract the penalty by hand if your table uses it.
Is three 1s worth 1,000 or 300?
Both are common. Choose under Three 1s score; the chart on the sheet prints your choice. See the Farkle scoring chart for the full table.
