The game of 5000 is a game of chance and choice, played with six dice. Any number can play. Since the last player has an advantage, the first step is to determine by any agreed means the sequence of players. Points are scored with a single die, three dice or six dice. The only single dice which score are the five and one, which count 50 points and 100 points respectively. Once any player reaches at least 5,000 points, the rotation of play continues only until it reaches the last player as originally determined, and at this point the player with the highest cumulative score is the winner.
