Rules of the Dice Game

First, find someone to play with! You'll typically find dice games in taverns or while resting during your travels. Once you've found a willing opponent, decide on your bet. Remember, it's always wise to gamble responsibly and avoid betting more than you can afford to lose.

The goal is to accumulate a target number of points before your opponent. The higher the bet, the higher the point target. Points are awarded for specific dice combinations. Press "E" at any time during the game to view the available combinations and their point values.

On your turn, roll the dice. You'll see various combinations; you choose which ones to score. Once selected, your points are tallied, and your turn ends. If you roll with no scoring combinations (including ones and fives), your turn automatically passes to your opponent.

During the selection phase, you can strategically set aside scoring dice and re-roll the remaining ones. You can repeat this process as long as you continue to roll successful combinations. New points are added to your existing total.

This allows you to potentially accumulate more points than with a single roll. However, if you roll without any scoring combinations, you lose all points for that turn, and your turn ends.

If no combinations remain after selecting dice, you can re-roll all six dice. With a bit of luck, you might even chain several re-rolls, accumulating a significant point advantage.

What's the Best Dice Game Strategy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

While luck plays a role, certain strategies can improve your odds.

Since a single one or five allows you to re-roll, a relatively safe strategy is to focus on accumulating these. The probability of rolling at least one one or five across six dice is fairly high, often exceeding the odds of obtaining other multi-dice combinations.

Using this strategy, you can set aside one die after each roll if better options are unavailable. Remember, though, as you re-roll fewer dice, the chance of any combination diminishes. With only four dice left, the risk significantly increases. It's often wiser to secure your existing points rather than risk losing everything.

Re-rolling three or fewer dice is generally risky and offers limited reward. The chance of getting three ones is low, and other combinations rarely justify the risk. This risk is only worth taking with special dice (discussed below).

To maximize points in a crucial moment, if your roll is unsatisfactory, consider setting aside a single die instead of better combinations and re-rolling the rest. While the chances of a better outcome are smaller, it's still a viable option.

If luck isn't on your side, assess if you can reach the target points with fewer dice. If so, continue re-rolling, but only if losing is a probable outcome otherwise.

Special Dice and Badges

Enhance your winning chances with special dice and badges!

Special dice, found throughout the game world, as quest rewards, or from merchants, offer unique properties that increase your odds of favorable combinations. At the start of the game, choose your dice strategically for optimal effects.

Labels will appear on the board to help you keep track of your special dice. Save certain dice for re-rolls, for example, to guarantee a one or five when you have fewer dice.

Badges add another layer of strategy. When initiating a game, choose to wager your badge alongside your money. Badges provide unique effects—some passive, others activated via a button press (indicated by a special icon).

Each badge presents unique strategic considerations. For instance, a badge that multiplies your score is best used when you have a high score, but this requires intuition and calculated risk.

While losing is part of the game, don't feel compelled to reload your save. If you're feeling adventurous, utilize your pickpocketing skills to recover your losses!
