Roll, set aside, bank or lose it all
On each turn, you roll 6 dice and set aside those that score. Then you choose: bank your points, or roll the other dice again to earn more, at the risk of losing it all. The first player to reach 10 000 points triggers the final round. Dés 10 000 is played against the computer, alone or with others on the same device. This site explains its rules, with examples calculated by the app.

Where to start?
The rules
A turn, setting dice aside, banking or rolling again, busts, hot dice and the final round.
The combinations
What each combination scores in the app, with examples and rejected selections.
Risk
The chance of losing it all by number of dice rolled again, calculated across all possible rolls.
A full game
A game played by the app's computer, turn by turn, through to the final round.
The game in a few lines
A 1 scores 100 points, and a 5 scores 50 points. Three matching dice from the same roll score one hundred times their face value (1 000 for three 1), and large combinations, such as the straight from one to six, score up to 3 000 points.
After each roll, you must set aside at least one scoring die. If none scores, the “Bust!” message appears: the points from that turn are lost. And when all 6 dice have scored, you have hot dice: they all return to play.
