Farkle or Farkel is a dice game that has also been called Zonk, Zilch, 5000, 10000, Wimp Out, Hot Dice, Buzzball, Oh Crap, Greed, and Squelch. Its origins as a folk game are unknown, but it has been marketed commercially since 1982, since 1996 under the brand name Pocket Farkel. While the basic rules are well-established, there is a wide range of variation in both scoring and play

there are numerous versions for PC and other platforms, as well as the original. The rules:

Each player starts his/her/its turn by rolling all six dice. From this roll, any/all of the scoring possibilities my be 'held', and the remainder rolled again. If all six of the dice become 'held', then all six may be rolled. This continues until the player decides to keep the points gathered so far and pass the dice to the next player, or until no scoring combinations are rolled (ie. Farkle). Any points for that turn when a player decides to stop rolling are added to the score. Any points for that turn when a player farkles, however, are lost.

The only cavaet is that a player cannot pass the dice until he/she/it has at least 500 pts.

No I don't think there is a game for farkle on the nintendo wii. But there are many people that make games for the 360. Maybe someone could make it on there.
