Ten Thousand

Ten Thousand is an adaption of the board game Dice 10000. It is played with six dices and the goal is to reach 10.000 points (optionally less) first. During each turn, the player rolls all dices and chooses which dices to keep. Then the remaining dices are thrown and so on until the player calls it quits. When all dices can be kept, the player may continue with rolling all six dices again. On the other hand, when one throw brings a score of zero, all previous points from the same turn are lost. Each player starts off the table and first needs to qualify by rolling at least 1000 points in one turn. Only then the scores start adding up, but only if at least 300 are scored.

Different scores are assigned to different combinations, but basically the goal is to roll two or more numbers at once. Generally higher numbers are worth more, but One is the most lucrative. Together with Five it is also the only one which also scores as single. However, each throw is scored separately (so when the player keeps two Ones and then throws two more Ones, the second throw is scored as two and not four Ones).
