The game is available now for Windows through itch.io. Players can learn more at the official website:

A Simple Game of Risk, Luck and Knowing When to Stop
Farkle: Tavern Dice places players at a table inside a medieval tavern and challenges them to outscore their opponent through a series of dice rolls.
Each turn presents a simple choice: bank the points already earned or continue rolling in pursuit of a larger score. A successful roll can dramatically increase a player’s total, while one unfortunate throw can erase the unbanked points from the entire turn.
The result is a straightforward game built around probability, risk management and the temptation to push one’s luck.
The project draws inspiration from traditional Farkle as well as the memorable tavern dice experiences found in medieval role-playing games such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Farkle: Tavern Dice is an independent project and is not affiliated with Warhorse Studios or the Kingdom Come: Deliverance franchise.
A Medieval Tavern Built Around the Game
Rather than presenting Farkle as a conventional digital board game, Pterosoft Studio developed the experience around a fully rendered 3D tavern environment.
The visual presentation combines wooden furniture, stone walls, firelight, parchment-inspired interfaces and period-influenced decorative elements to create the feeling of sitting down for a game inside a medieval inn.
The interface keeps the core scoring information visible while allowing the environment itself to remain an important part of the experience.
Key features include:
- Classic Farkle-inspired dice gameplay
- Risk-and-reward scoring mechanics
- Medieval tavern setting
- Fully rendered 3D environment and dice
- Computer-controlled opponent
- Match and score tracking
- Quick, accessible gameplay sessions
- Windows PC support
Developed Using Ptero-Engine
Farkle: Tavern Dice was developed using Ptero-Engine, Pterosoft Studio’s proprietary game engine.
Ptero-Engine is part of the studio’s broader work in computer graphics, rendering technology and game development. The release of Farkle: Tavern Dice demonstrates the engine in a complete, standalone commercial game rather than only as a technology project.
For Pterosoft Studio, the project also serves as a comparatively focused production alongside the studio’s larger game and graphics initiatives.
The First Release Is Only the Beginning
The itch.io version represents the first public release of Farkle: Tavern Dice. Pterosoft Studio plans to continue improving the game based on player feedback while exploring a wider PC release.
Future development may include additional gameplay features, quality-of-life improvements and broader distribution.
Players are encouraged to report bugs, suggest improvements and share their experience with the studio.
Availability
Farkle: Tavern Dice is available now for Windows PC.
