The game ends when 1 player reaches 10,000 or more and the other player does
not exceed that score on their next turn. During this last turn, they must
continue rolling the remaining dice until they win or they Farkle.

Subject: Re: Farkle
The ap you want is Dice World. It includes Farkle, among five other dice
games, and is not only accessible but includes features specifically for
VoiceOver users. It's still a fully sighted game, though.
Farkle is pretty easy, once you play it some and get the rules down pat. Here
they are:
* you have six dice to roll the first time. You may roll again as many times
as you like, so long as at least one die is worth points.
* Before rolling again, you must "set aside" at least one die.
* Three or more of any single number is worth points (three ones, four fives,
that kind of thing). Twos, threes, fours, fives, and sixes are worth 100 times
the value,, doubled for as many dice as you have showing that value, after
three dice. So, three dice showing 2 is worth 2*100=200, but five twos are
worth 2*100=200, doubled for the fourth die is 400, doubled for the fifth die
is worth 800.
* A similar system is used for ones, but they are worth more. Three ones
yields a score of 1000, which doubles for every 1 after those first three. Four
ones is worth 2000, for instance.
* For the above two rules to apply, the dice must be rolled at once. You
can't hold back two ones, roll a third one your next roll, and call it a
thousand points.
* You can stop rolling anytime you like, after your first roll. If you roll
the dice and get no points, you have a "Farkle" and all points you've gained
during your turn are lost. Deciding not to roll again or getting a Farkle are
the only two ways to end your turn.
* The game is over when one player's score hits ten thousand.

Recently my seven-year-old grand daughter expressed interest in a game
called Farkle. ?
A few weeks prior, there had been several messages on this list regarding
the Farkle game, but I paid no attention at the time. Since I am uncertain as
to how to search the archives of this group, please could someone give me a
capsule synopsis of the game's accessibility and a general description of how
it is played.
Thanks.
