Rules of the Dice Game

First, find a dice game opponent. Taverns are a good place to start, or you might encounter someone while traveling. Decide on your bet wisely—remember, there's always a risk of losing, so don't wager 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 target score. Points are awarded for specific dice combinations. Press "E" anytime to view the point values for each combination.

On your turn, roll the dice. You'll see various combinations; choose which ones to count towards your score. After selecting your combinations, your score is updated, and your turn ends. If you roll with no scoring combinations (including ones and fives), your turn passes to your opponent.

During the selection phase, you can set aside scoring dice and re-roll the rest. You can continue re-rolling as long as you have scoring combinations. New points are added to your existing total. This allows you to potentially earn more points than with a single roll. However, a single roll without any scoring combinations results in a loss of all points for that turn, ending your turn.

If no combinations remain after selecting dice, you can re-roll all six dice. With a bit of luck, you might even re-roll several times, accumulating a substantial point total.

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

While luck plays a role, strategic play significantly increases your winning odds.

A relatively safe strategy involves focusing on ones and fives. Since either a one or a five allows you to re-roll, the probability of getting at least one of these numbers on a roll of six dice is high. This often proves more reliable than aiming for more complex combinations.

By using this method, you can set aside one die after each roll if better options aren't available. Remember, however, that with each roll, the number of dice decreases, reducing the chance of getting any combination. When only four dice remain, the risk increases considerably. It's often better to keep your existing points rather than risk losing everything.

Re-rolling three or fewer dice is generally too risky and offers limited reward. The odds of getting three ones are low, and other combinations rarely justify the risk of losing all your points. This risk is only advisable with special dice (discussed below).

To maximize points in a crucial turn, if your roll is unsatisfactory, consider setting aside a single die instead of better combinations and re-rolling the rest. This increases your chance of a better outcome than the previous roll, though the probability is lower than the initial roll.

If luck isn't on your side, assess if the needed points can be achieved with combinations from fewer dice. If so, continue re-rolling, but only if losing is otherwise a likely outcome.

Special Dice and Badges

Special dice, found throughout the game world, as quest rewards, or from merchants, significantly improve your winning chances. These dice offer various properties that increase your likelihood of favorable combinations.

At the start of the game, choose your dice carefully, combining those that provide the best overall effect. Remember which dice you're using!

When selected, a label appears on the board to help identify them. Some dice are best saved for re-rolls, guaranteeing a one or five when fewer dice remain.

Badges add another layer of strategy. When starting a game, you can choose to wager your badge alongside your money. Badges provide unique effects, some passive and others activated by pressing a button. An icon indicates activatable abilities.

Each badge introduces its own strategic element. For instance, a badge that multiplies your score is best used when your score is already high, but since you can't predict this, intuition plays a crucial role.

The dice game in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a standout mini-game. Don't let losses discourage you—if you're feeling bold, use your pickpocketing skills to recoup your losses!
