Free Printable Farkle Score Sheet with Scoring Chart

Farkle needs only six dice and a way to track who has banked what, and this free printable score sheet covers the second part. It pairs the official PlayMonster scoring chart with a running-total grid for up to four players and twenty turns, so the scoring argument and the “what are we on again?” question both disappear.

What Is on the Sheet

• The scoring chart down the left side: every scoring combination from a single 5 up to two triplets, plus reminder lines for Farkle, hot dice, the 500-point entry threshold and the end of the game.
• A 20-turn grid for four players on the right, with a name row at the top and a Final row at the bottom for the scores after everyone’s last turn.
• Chart and grid sit side by side so the person keeping score can check a combination without turning the page.

The sheet fits one Letter or A4 page in portrait orientation. Print it double-sided for two games per page, or fold it in half and keep it in the dice cup.

How to Fill In the Sheet

1. Write each player’s name in the Name row. Roll a die for turn order and list players left to right in that order.
2. After each turn, write the player’s new running total in the box for that turn. If Player 3 had 2,300 and banks 600, the box reads 2,900. Writing the running total rather than the turn score means the sheet always shows the standings at a glance.
3. Mark a Farkle with a dash. The player’s banked score never goes down, so the next box simply repeats the last total.
4. Playing with the entry threshold? Until a player has banked a single turn of 500 or more, their column stays empty. Write their first score only when they cross the line.
5. When someone reaches 10,000, circle the total. Every other player takes exactly one more turn, then write everyone’s finishing score in the Final row. Highest wins; if a final-turn player only ties, the player who reached 10,000 first keeps the win.

Scoring Reminder

This is the table printed on the sheet and used by the Dice.now Farkle game. Combinations count only within a single roll: a 5 you set aside on your first roll does not combine with two 5s on your second.

Everything else, including lone 2s, 3s, 4s and 6s and a pair that is not part of three pairs, is worth nothing. A roll with no scoring dice is a Farkle: the turn ends and the running total for that turn is lost. If every die has been set aside as a scoring die, that is hot dice: pick up all six and keep rolling with the same turn total.

Tips for Keeping Score by Hand

• Announce before you write. Say “banking 450, new total 3,150” so the whole table hears it. Farkle disputes are almost always about a number written without being announced.
• Check the six-dice shapes first. Before anyone touches a die on a six-dice roll, look for a straight, three pairs, two triplets and four plus a pair. Together they show up on about 7% of six-dice throws, they are worth 1,500 to 2,500, and every one of them gives hot dice. Grabbing “a 1 and a 5” off a straight throws away 1,350 points.
• Keep a scrap tally for the turn total. The sheet records banked scores only. The active player, or a neighbor, should keep the running turn total out loud or on a spare corner so a 650-point turn is not remembered as 550 when it comes time to bank.
• Use the break-even numbers. With three dice left, bank at 300 or more; with four, at about 800; with one or two dice, bank almost anything. The numbers come from the Farkle odds on the Farkle rules page and are explained in more depth in our dice probability guide.
• Mind the final turn. Once a total is circled, every other player has one goal: pass it. Keep rolling until you do or you farkle; anything less is worth nothing.

Using the Sheet for Other Games

The same grid works for every game in the family: Ten Thousand, Greed, Zilch, Zonk and Dix Mille all bank running totals toward 10,000. Only the chart differs, and the most common changes are three 1s scoring 1,000 instead of 300, four, five and six of a kind doubling the triple rather than paying flat values, and three pairs anywhere from 500 to 2,000. Our Farkle vs Ten Thousand guide lists the variants side by side, so cross out the chart values that do not apply and write in yours before the first roll.
