"Smart Box Design is pleased to announce the release of its Farkle dice game for Windows Mobile devices and a free update for Palm OS users. Like most games of chance and skill, Farkle�s attraction stems from players hoping to beat the odds and roll a high scoring combination. Farkle, which earned rave reviews by journalists and gamers alike after its Palm OS launch, will now provide users of both major PDA and smartphone platforms the chance to enjoy this classic dice game whenever and wherever they want."
Oh, there are 1001 jokes you could make about the name, but let's not walk down that path. Farkle, a popular dice-rolling game, has just made its way from the Palm OS to Windows Mobile. Smart Box Design has a free trial and if you like it, you can purchase the full version for $14.95.

Well, I guess you need a bit of a down-under twang for it to work. I'm not making this up since I've already had two people know what I'm talking about. Anyway, let's not walk down that path... 
I've heard the game itself is a blast to play.

When I was growing up, my family called this game Five Thousand. It wasn't until my wife and I started dating as teenagers that I heard the game called Farkle.
