John Scarne Biography

It’s simple to make your own Teeko game. Simply save and print the board image shown below. Then paste it onto a hard backing, such as a cut piece of cardboard, and you’re ready to play. 

For playing pieces, you can use checkers men, chess pawns, Go pebbles, or Pente stones.  You need four markers for each player. Be creative and see what you can come up with!

Some rules variants require the playing pieces to have visible numbers on top. For this I recommend checkers men with written or pasted numeric identifiers.

To save the board image, in most browsers you right-click the mouse over the image, then save it to a file.  Then you can easily resize it (if necessary) and print it to suit.

For playing pieces, you can use checkers men, chess pawns, Go pebbles, or Pente stones.  You need 4 pieces for the defender and 7 for the attacker.

farkle scoring sheet

Here is a Word-format file that contains a Farkle scoring sheet you can use.   If for some reason you can not use the Word-format file, here is a Farkle scoring pad sheet.  The Word-format file is preferable because it includes a scoring summary at the bottom of the page.
