Dix Mille

Dix Mille (or Dice 10,000) is a game where players try to be the first to score 10,000 points.

Number of Players

The game is played with two or more players.

Set Up

• 6 six-sided dice
• Something to write with and on

Players roll to determine turn order.

Game Play

Players have three chances, setting aside any dice they want to score for the particular roll, to score the most points possible. Dice scored in a round may not be scored with dice from a previous round. If the player does not have any scoring dice, their turn is over and the dice are passed to the next player. Once the player voluntarily stops or runs out of rolls, they score their turn and add it to their total score. If a straight is rolled, the player may roll again.
