I’ve implemented the advice given here and elsewhere as best as I understand: Ten Thousand: a dice game for multiple players

I’ve added a computer player as well. Help me make it even better. What is incorrect, superfluous, or not as Pythonic as it could be? Are there statements or methods I’m obviously unaware of? Is my use of classes appropriate, or could I still move, say, set_player() out of the Game class?

import random import collections import numpy as np  msg = ('''                     Welcome to Ten Thousand                            The Game! Objective:     Score 10,000 points.     Any turn in which a player ends with more than 10,000 points will be the      final turn.     If multiple players finish with more than 10,000 points, the winner is the     player with the most points.  To score:     1's and 5's are worth 100 and 50 points respectively.     Three-of-a-kind is worth the die number x 100. (Three 1's is 1000 points)     Four-of-a-kind is worth double the same Three-of-a-kind.     Five-of-a-kind is double Four-of-a-kind.     Six of any number is worth 5000 points.     A six dice straight is worth 1500 points.     Three pairs are also worth 1500 points.  To play:     Your dice will appear in [brackets].     Choose your dice by the reference number located above your dice.     You must score 500 points to get on the board.     You'll press Enter a lot. Sorry about that. There will be graphics soon.     Try and break things! If you do, please tell my how you did it.     Screen shots of the error message are especially helpful.     Have fun and thanks for helping me develop my first app!!
