The developer behind some really cool BlackBerry apps including Hockey Scores and Pixelated, has recently launched a new game called 10,000 Farkle. Farkle is a popular dice game that has also been called Zonk, Zilch, 5000, 10000, Wimp Out etc. and it’s simple and fun meaning it ports really well to BlackBerry.
Points are awarded for various dice combinations and the game has 4 diferent modes:
10 Turns
10,000 points
Local player vs player

10,000 Farkle is available for the BlackBerry Storm, Tour, Bold, and all versions of the Curve with at least OS 4.6. The full list of supported devices are the 8350i, 8520, 8530, 8900, 9000, 9500, 9520, 9530, 9550, 9630, and 9700.
