Yo'Dice is a computerized version of the game 10,000. The basic rules are the same from the original version; one's, five's, and triples of any number are the only scorers, you can roll as many times as you want, but the first time a roll comes up without a scorer you not only lose the turn, but also all the points you have scored that turn.

There are now 12 backgrounds to choose from, and you still have the option of using your own bmp as backgrounds. There are 8 sounds, 4 for the clear button and 4 for the keep button. There is now a tool tip option, if toggled hold the mouse over whatever and a small box will tell you what it is for. There is also a log that will keep help beginners keep track of the scoring.

A computer opponent has been added for those who play alone, and scoring has been simplified, now you don't need to click on the dice you want to keep or get rid of, the game takes care of it for you.

Also they now have secure ordering from their website. Good improvements for a good game.
