Q&A for How to Play 10000

It depends on what die face is showing. Three-of-a-kind is worth 100 times the value of one die, and each additional die doubles the total score.

You can reroll any dice that you want to get a better score. If you only want to keep a three-of-a-kind, you can set those dice aside.

Three 3s are usually worth 300 points, and each additional die doubles that amount. Four 3s are worth 600, five 3s are worth 1,200, and six 3s are worth 2,400 total.

Five equals 50, one equals 100. Any other number must be a three of a kind. Three 3's = 300, three 4's = 400, etc.

Four times the three of a kind point value. For example, rolling three 6's = 600 pts. Rolling four 6's is double the amount = 1200 pts. Thus, rolling five 6's is quadruple original = 2400 pts.

Every additional number to a set doubles the value. In this case 3 ones is 1000, so 4 ones would be 2000 and 5 ones is 4000 (must be in the same roll). 6 ones of course is an instant win.

Yes, because you set those dice aside. However, if you did not roll a scoring combination on the second roll, you would lose the 400 points.

You need at least 1,000 points to get on the board, and after that, the minimum is 350.

Yes, you may keep any combination of dice you prefer. In most variations you do not have to get exactly 10,000 but you can go over to win.

You could play it so that if you roll three of a kind regardless of whatever number, you get 1000 points.

You should do a roll off. Each person rolls one more turn until they bust out. The highest amount of points they rolled before busting out is the amount of points the other person have to beat in order to break the tie.

No, straights can only be counted if done in one roll. It's the same as with 3, 4, 5, or 6 of a kind: they can only be counted if they occur in one roll.

Any score that is at least 10,000 and not beaten by another player. In other words, the final score is the highest score that was at least 10,000.

Example. You throw 1 1 1 1 3 4. You asked whether you count it as three-of-a-kind or as a four-of-a-kind. Well, in the first case, you make 1,000, and the other three dice are discarded. In the second case, you make 2,000 points. This may come into play when you need exactly 10,000 to win (a variation). But in most cases, you would take the 2,000.

As many before you roll a set with no scoring combination -- aka farkling, busting, crapping out.

In some rules, a straight of five dices is worth 500 points and a six-dice straight is 1000.

That would be 2,100 points because 4 1s is 2,000 and then the extra 1 which is 100.

No. According to the rules, the second player needs to beat the first player that has 10,000 or more. 10,000 for the next player is not enough.

5 ones equals 4000. Three ones =1000, plus another one doubles it to 2000, and the 5th one quadruples it to 4000.

You can re-roll it and keep the one if you want.

If you rolled and didn't make any points with the roll, yes. You lose all points you made that round, meaning you pass the dice with your score unchanged from the previous round.

Yes, in nearly every variation of the game unless you've specifically been told otherwise.

If the first throw is 6 ones, that automatically wins. If the first throw is 6 sixes, the game is not over; the number of points is 2 x 2 x 2 x 600 = 4,800.

Yes. As long as you actually have scoring dice, you have the option to reroll. You can either first take some of the scoring dice, or roll all of them again.

Say you get 3 fours, that would be 400 points. Then the other 3 are fives, that would be 500. Total score would be 900. Just add the two sets of numbers.

You are free to use 4 of a kind as two pair if the score benefits you better, it's your choice.

Depending on which rules you are playing by, it can be worth 500 or 750 points.

Yes, for most games you score 1500 points for three pairs.

Three pair is 1500 points. As for the two sets of three, you add the groups of three by the number times 100.

The number of turns until you roll a combination which is a no-score combination. (Read above for the definition of "no-score combination".)
