The "X Zilch-free games in a row" badges have got to be some of the most angry-making ones on this site. I can't even say how glad I am to finally be past them and all the other win-streak ones. At last, I can just play the game for actual fun!!

OMG, this game cheats so freakin' bad. No matter how far ahead I am, the CPU almost always just HAPPENS to get a HUGE score right at the last round to win. Total crap!

@bokey407: The probability is not astronomical. That's 2 out of 6 choices each dice. That's what, a 1/3 chance *each* dice. So, (1/3)^5, which is 1/243 chance of getting a 1 or a 5, IIRC.

computer also got 3 huge point free rolls in a row where as i haven't got one in 3 games. i have the feeling the cpu cheats in this game

computer banked over 3000 in one turn TWICE in one game where as i have not been able to bank more than 2200 in any game i have played.

I have horrible luck in this game; I got three zilches in a row with more than 4 dice each time and the computer got free rolls twice. Then I lost a just a few turns. FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU......

I played now 5 games against the easiest CPU and everytime I got just a little bit luck, the CPU got a lot more luck and so he always wins... :(

Great game although I absolutely hate it when I get 2 Free Rolls (I mean like 1500 each rolls), then a Single One and Zilch...

I've played around 6 games and on all of them the computer has rolled more big numbers than I have. I think there's an algorithm behind this, no way its random.

P.S.
Does anybody else feel like Reckless should be "Hard" and Realist should be "Easy"? The Reckless AI either zilch or score by the thousands...

I've found the easiest way to get a Zilch-free game is to always bank whenever you can. Even if it's a mere 300 points, click the bank when it's clickable. Except of course when you have a free roll, click that. If you get a Zilch, just do the quit trick to restart and don't mess up your progress. If your opponent is about to win and you have no chance, just quit on the last turn.

monkey7151, there is a way: just click on a die to keep it, instead of clicking on the little "2 fives" or "2 ones" banner.

In addition to my previous comment: same thing applies with 5s. Shouldn't be forced to ruin chances of a better roll.

Origins of the game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farkle. Also, instead of being forced to choose a pair of ones to take out, there should be an option to take out only 1 one instead of both. Great game

I seem to have an interesting experience. Every time I lose a game, I end up getting 3 pairs like 5 times the next game, and then the next game I get a long, long string of 2nd turn ziltches the next game as cautious crushes me. I think this game has rubberband luck. It's not the rigging that the others claim, but I think it's there.

in 10 turns i had 5 zilchs, didnt took any risk, just coudnt bank yet
then in the 10th turn, my reckless enemy had 12k points OMG

this game is so stupidly biased. the computer has 3x the chance of getting a free roll than you and they almost NEVER zilch with 5 die where as i always seem to zilch on 5 once every 10-15 rolls.

No matter how hard I try I can't even get 1 zilch-free win. It's just impossible to avoid when you get a bunch of single fives or just straight up zilch on five dice...

I was about to win, the final round, and I thought that Cautious wouldnt win. I was 3000 points ahead, then, cautious got 3 free rolls one after another.
