What the Farkle card game is
Farkle Cards is a version of the Farkle dice game that uses a deck of cards instead of dice. The developer presents it as a more strategic take on the original, aimed at players who already know Farkle and want something with more planning in it.
Only a set of specific cards is in play. Because of that, the cards that have already come out tell you something about what is still in the deck.
Tracking drawn and discarded cards
The main idea of the game is that memory matters as much as luck. The listing says you can track discarded and drawn cards to work out what is likely to come up next.
The developer describes the result as planning moves and predicting outcomes, with the odds forming a large part of each decision. Players who like keeping count of a deck will find this the core of the game.
Playing head-to-head against other players
The app offers head-to-head duels, where you challenge a friend or a player elsewhere in the world. Each match is one player against one opponent.
The listing presents the duels as the competitive side of the game, with winning based on outplaying and outscoring the other player.
Strategy and odds in each turn
The developer says that knowing the odds is a skill rather than luck, and that this skill is what separates players over time. Each turn asks you to decide how much risk to take on the cards you can see.
The listing does not describe any separate training, tutorials or practice modes, so the game's depth comes from play against others and from reading the deck as it empties.
