10000 Dice is a very popular dice game. The aim of the 10000 dice game is to roll the dice and accumulate 10000 points. The player who first reaches 10000 points wins the game. How to Play 10000 dice game: 1. Player rolls 6 dice at beginning of their turn. 2. After each roll, one of the scoring dice must be locked. 3. The player can then either end their turn or bank the accumulated points so far or they can continue rolling the remaining dice. 4. If the player gets a score on all six dice, it is called a "hot dice" after which the player continues their turn roll on six dice which is added to the accumulated score. And there is no limit to "hot dice". A player's turn may continue to roll multiple times. 5. If none of the rolled dice has a dice score, then the player loses all the points in that turn and is called a Farkle. Getting greedy may be dangerous sometimes.
