The game is played with five custom dice, and may use a combination score board and rolling surface, in the form of a piece of cloth or felt available in various colors and designs.
Liar's dice is a class of dice games for two or more players in which deception is a significant gameplay element. In "single hand" liar's dice games, each player is given a set of dice, all players roll once, and the bids relate to the dice each player can see (their hand) plus all the concealed dice (the other players' hands).

Yes, 10000 is a variant of Farkle (Farkle sometimes has 15000 as point limit). It is commonly called "10000" or "Dix Mille" (10000 in French). It is definitely not called "Dice 10000". So, renaming to "10000 (dice game)" and redirect to the Farkle article would be my preferred solution. But I'm just a Wikipedia newbie...
The original game rules released in 1956 contain a difference from the above rules. The booklet stated that additional Yahtzees must be used as Jokers in the Lower Section and did not allow for their use in the Upper Section. This rule was changed when the game was re-copyrighted in 1961. [4] The winner is the player with the highest total.
The actual origins of the game are not clear; some of the earliest documentation comes from 1893, when Stewart Culin reported that Cee-lo was the most popular dice game played by Chinese-American laborers, although he also notes they preferred to play Fan-Tan and games using Chinese dominoes such as Pai Gow or Tien Gow rather than dice games.
