Dice 10,000 (or 10000, 10,000 Dice, Ten Grand) also Greed, Dix Mille, Reload, 5-Dice is the name of a family dice game played with 6 dice; it is similar or identical to the commercialized Farkle. It also goes by other names, including Cargoose, Zilch, Zilchers, Foo, Boxcar, Bogus, Lewis' Dice, Crap Out.
These are the base methods of scoring:
Typically each roll scores separately, with dice scored at the time they are rolled, so that three or more of a kind must be rolled simultaneously, and dice from later rolls do not "stack" for the higher score. In so-called progressive scoring, dice can form combinations with dice previously scored and set aside. Also to add you can not take a full house with 4 of a kind and a 2 of a kind without rolling 1 of the 4 dice to make the full house a 3 of a kind and a 2 of a kind for a full house
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 unless playing progressive, and she can only score 50 points for the lone 5. If she rolls two more 5's with the remaining dice, if not playing progressive they will only score 50 points each, and do not form a three of a kind with the other 5.

| 3's | 300 | 600 | 1,200 | 2,400 |
| 4's | 400 | 800 | 1,600 | 3,200 |

There are two main winning variants, one requires an ''exact'' score of 10,000. The others criteria is that you only have to exceed 10,000. With playing the exact score, in the event that a player goes over, the score for that turn is lost and they need to try again next turn. If the 10,000 is hit, that player wins immediately without giving the other players a chance to roll. However, in progressive mode if the winner leaves at least one die then the next player may 'roll off the score'. The first player to score over 10,000 points temporarily becomes the winner, and each other player gets one more turn to top that player's score. Whoever ends with the highest score wins the game.

A rule variation states that if a player rolls all 6 dice with the same number they instantly win. This is part of another ruleset which allows rolling dice off other players. If the game comes to a roll off each player will roll the dice until they bust the person with the highest score wins there is no point minimum or maximum.
