They explain the rules best in terms of simplicity. Traditional Farkle is played with at least two players but is ideally played with 3-8 players. A score sheet and pencil for keeping score To score a minimum of 10,000 points and outscore your opponents This most closely resembles the rules that I remember playing as a kid. There are a few different variations to the game but I stuck with the rules and scoring combinations from this website. If you want to make this fun game, follow along!īefore I begin, it may be helpful to understand how Farkle is played and the rules for the game. This was my first experience creating a PCB and the programming was definitely fun and challenging.
FARKLE POINT SYSTEM PORTABLE
Portable and powered with a LiPo batteryĪll in all I had a blast making this game. Scoring combinations printed on circuit board for reference Piezo buzzer that creates sounds during gameplay Option for 2-6 players to play the game (working on creating a 1 player game vs. 128圆4 OLED display that keeps total score of each player during gameplay 4 digit 7-segment display that displays current score during a players’ round 2 push buttons to continue round or pass to next player 6 capacitive touch sensors for selecting/de-selecting die Here is a quick rundown of some of the design features of my Farkle game: Additionally, I could use the same MAX7219 chips that my brother used to drive 6 electronic LED dice needed for the game!Īfter many hours of schematic drawing, PCB designing, programming the game, and designing the case and die, I created exactly what I had in mind! I was able to finish it just in time for the Holidays, and after testing it with the family, the game worked perfectly! I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Shortly after that, my tinkering wheels started turning and I thought about designing a homemade portable Farkle game that could incorporate multiple players and keep score for us. It was only a few turns in that the excitement I had as a kid was rekindled. Additionally, growing up, my family and I played the traditional Farkle game (with 6 dice, pen, and paper) quite a bit and we always had fun playing it, especially time’s when someone would actually “Farkle” during gameplay and we’d all shout “FAARRKKLEE!”Īt some point during quarantine, I was looking for different games to play and I remembered Farkle. I thought his final product was awesome and wanted to create something utilizing similar components. I first got the inspiration from my twin brother, Sunyecz06’s Liar’s Dice PCB game in which he utilized a MAX7219 chip to “roll” 5 electronic LED dice. In this Instructable I will show you how I made my PCB Farkle Game! Farkle, also known as 10000, Zilch, 6 Dice, and Ten Thousand, is a fun and challenging dice game with multiple variations and scoring options.
