Re: "@gritty have you done a distribution analysis of your rng..."
if my math is right, 3 dice should result in a farkle about 28% of the time:
no 1s or 5s about 30% of the time (2/3 ** 3)
minus the odds of a triple-2,3,4, or 6 about 2% (2/3 * 1/36)

@gritty have you done a distribution analysis of your rng for farkle? I could just be exceptionally unlucky but the number of times I get farkled when rolling with 3 dice in play feels disproportionately high. The odds of getting just a single 1 or 5 is 30% for a single die so with 3 dice in play there should be a pretty low risk of a farkle given there are additional scoring options with 3 dice.
