Farkle scoring chart

In farkle, a single 1 scores 100 and a single 5 scores 50. Three of a kind scores 100 times the number, except three 1s, which score 1,000. Four, five and six of a kind score 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000, and a 1-to-6 straight or three pairs score 1,500. Every other die scores nothing on its own.

By Emre Özen, updated October 8, 2026. This is the table our online farkle game uses by default. It follows the farkle scoring chart from Game On Family, which matches the base table in Wikipedia's article except for the straight and the two six-dice bonus combinations, which Wikipedia lists as variants. Every number below comes from the same scoring code as the game.

The chart

Combination	Points	Example
Single 1	100	Any 1 you set aside
Single 5	50	Any 5 you set aside
Three 1s	1,000	1, 1, 1
Three 2s	200	2, 2, 2
Three 3s	300	3, 3, 3
Three 4s	400	4, 4, 4
Three 5s	500	5, 5, 5
Three 6s	600	6, 6, 6
Four of a kind	1,000	Four of any number, such as 3, 3, 3, 3
Five of a kind	2,000	Five of any number
Six of a kind	3,000	All six dice the same
1 to 6 straight	1,500	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in one roll
Three pairs	1,500	2, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6 in one roll
Four of a kind with a pair	1,500	3, 3, 3, 3, 6, 6 in one roll
Two three-of-a-kinds	2,500	4, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6 in one roll

Three rules decide how the chart is used:

One roll at a time. A combination only counts if all its dice came up in the same roll. Set aside two 5s, roll three more 5s, and you have 100 plus 500, never five of a kind.
Only scoring dice can be set aside. A lone 2, 3, 4 or 6 is worth nothing, and so is a pair outside of three pairs.
The higher count wins. When dice can be counted two ways, we use the bigger total. Four 1s in one roll count as three 1s and a single 1, 1,100, rather than 1,000 for four of a kind.

Rolls that trip people up

Roll	Best score	Why
1, 1, 1, 1	1,100	Three 1s and a single 1. Counting it as four of a kind (1,000) would lose 100, so the higher count is used.
5, 5, 5, 5, 5	2,000	Five of a kind beats three 5s plus two single 5s (600).
1, 1, 5, 5, 3, 3	1,500	Three pairs. The 1s and 5s on their own would only make 300.
2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3	2,500	Two three-of-a-kinds. Counted separately it would be 200 plus 300.
4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 6	1,500	Four of a kind with a pair, worth more than the four 4s alone.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2	150	Only the 1 and the 5 score. A five-dice run is not a straight in the standard table.
5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 6	300	Two single 5s and three 2s. The 6 is left to roll.
2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6	Farkle	Nothing scores: two pairs are not three pairs. That is a farkle.

How much a roll is worth

We checked every possible roll of one to six dice and took the best score each one allows. Fewer dice means less to work with and a much bigger chance of a farkle.

Dice rolled	Chance of a farkle	Average best score (farkles count as 0)
1	66.7%	25
2	44.4%	50
3	27.8%	87
4	15.7%	144
5	7.7%	226
6	2.3%	425

Taking every scoring die isn't always the best play, though. Our farkle strategy page shows when keeping fewer dice and rolling more of them pays off.

Scoring variations

Farkle is a folk game, and families score it differently. These are the variations our two sources list. You can switch any of them on under Settings in the farkle game.

Rule	Our default	Other values in use
1 to 6 straight	1,500	2,500 (Wikipedia's base table); 1,000 or 3,000 in some games
Three pairs	1,500	750 or 2,000
Four, five, six of a kind	1,000, 2,000, 3,000	Doubling (three 1s 1,000, four 2,000, five 4,000, six 8,000) or adding the three-of-a-kind value per extra die (three 2s 200, four 400, five 600, six 800; six of a kind can also count as three pairs, and the game uses whichever is higher)
Two three-of-a-kinds	2,500	3,000, or no extra combination (each three of a kind scores on its own)
Four of a kind with a pair	1,500	No extra combination (it still counts as three pairs)
Three 1s	1,000	300 in some boxed versions
Short straight (1 to 5 or 2 to 6)	Not scored	500
Six dice with nothing	A farkle	500 as a bonus

The rules around scoring, like the 500 you need to get on the board and the last round, are on our farkle rules page.
