Dice 10000 - Scoring

Scoring

Dice are scored with single fives worth 50 points, single ones worth 100 points, and three of a kinds worth 100 points times the number rolled, except for three ones which is worth 1000 points. If four, five, or six of a kind is rolled, each additional die is worth double the three of a kind score, making the highest possible score in a single roll 8000, for six ones (1000 for three ones, doubled 3 times. (the fourth one doubles the 1000 to 2000, the fifth one doubles the 2000 to 4000, and the sixth one doubles the 4000 to 8000)). A roll of three different pairs scores 1000 points, while a straight from 1 to 6 is worth 1500 points. In some variations of the game, the first roll of a turn of all six dice with no scoring combinations can be scored as 100 or 500, referred to as "nothing", with the option to allow the player to continue rolling as normal.

Dice are scored at the time they are rolled, so three or more of a kind must be rolled simultaneously, and dice from later rolls do not "stack" for the higher score.

Example: Player 1 rolls all six dice, and chooses to score three fours for 400 points. She rolls the remaining three dice for a 2, 4, 5; the additional 4 does not multiply the previous three of a kind, and she can only score 50 points for the lone 5. If she rolls two more 5's with the remaining dice, they will only score 50 points each, and do not form a three of a kind with the other 5.
