Of course, it still involves a lot of luck!Īfter this day full of Farkle, I decided I definitely want to incorporate playing Farkle into our probability unit in the non-AP statistics course that I teach every other year. He said he actually prefers Farkle to Pass the Pigs because the game involves a bit more strategy. Shaun said the game reminded him of Pass the Pigs (affiliate link) which his family is a bit obsessed with. We ended up playing four different rounds in a single day. Should an 8/27 chance of farkling be enough to keep you from risking it?
If we have three dice, we have a (2/3)^3 chance of not rolling a 1 or a 5. If we have two dice, then our chance of farkling is (2/3)^2. We have a 1/3 chance of rolling a 1 or 5, so we have a 2/3 chance of farkling. What is the probability of Farkling with one die? Well, with one die, the only way to score is by rolling a 1 or a 5.
For example, we often found ourselves in the situation where we had one die left that we could roll. If you get to doing a lot of reading and research, you will soon learn that there are many different versions of the game with different scoring rules.Īs Shaun and I were playing Farkle, we found ourselves stopping the game to discuss and calculate various probabilities. If you want to read the full instructions, here is a link. You must score 500 points to "get on the board." And, the first player to reach 10,000 points wins. If you earn points from all six dice, you also get to roll again. You may not combine the results of multiple rolls to earn these points. 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, etc must be earned on a SINGLE roll.
