Farkle is a dice game played with 6 dice, a pen, and paper. The object is to make as many of the dice "scoring" dice by picking out valid combinations for points.
In this gemini version of the game, you don't play directly against another person, rather, you score as many points as you can in 10 rounds, once per day.
Normally ten thousand; however, in this version you try to get as many points as you can.
Sort of.
It's hard to create a head-to-head game on Gemini, so instead, the object is to get as many points as you can in ten rounds, and top other players that day on the leaderboard.
Farkle! has a tournament feature where the top 3 finishers for each day are awarded points towards a monthly total. Monthly leaders are shown on the tournament board.
