Rules of the Dice Game

To get started, you'll need to find fellow players, often found in taverns or encountered during your travels. When you propose a game, you'll need to agree on a bet. It's wise to be cautious with your wagers, as there's always a risk of losing.

The objective is to accumulate a set number of points before your opponent. The stakes dictate the number of points required to win. Points are earned through specific combinations, which you can review by pressing "E" during the game.

On your turn, Henry rolls the dice. You can choose which combinations to count for points. If no combinations (including ones and fives) appear, your turn ends, and it's your opponent's go.

You can set aside dice that yield points and re-roll the others, adding new points to your total. This approach can lead to higher scores than stopping after the first roll, but be warned: a single roll without any combinations will nullify all points earned that turn.

If you have no combinations left after selecting dice, you can re-roll all six dice. With a bit of luck, you might re-roll multiple times and rack up a substantial score.

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

To maximize your points, consider a strategy that leverages the high probability of rolling at least one one or five. This approach allows you to safely set aside a die and re-roll the rest, gradually building your score. However, as the number of dice decreases, the risk of not rolling a combination increases, especially with only four dice left. At this point, it's often safer to secure your current points rather than risk losing them all.

Re-rolling three or fewer dice is generally too risky, with little reward. It's typically only worthwhile with special dice, which we'll discuss next.

If you're in a critical situation and need to outscore your opponent quickly, consider setting aside one die and re-rolling the rest. This can increase your chances of a better roll, though the odds are lower than with a full set of dice. If the points you need seem achievable with fewer dice, continue re-rolling, but only if losing is likely otherwise.

Special Dice and Badges

To boost your winning chances, consider using special dice, which you can find scattered across the game world, as quest rewards, or in merchant shops. These dice have unique properties that enhance your likelihood of rolling favorable combinations. At the game's start, choose the dice that offer the best overall effect for your strategy.

When selecting special dice, their names will appear on the board to help you keep track. Some should be reserved for re-rolls, particularly to guarantee a one or five with fewer dice left.

Additionally, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* introduces badges, which you can wager alongside money. These badges offer unique effects, some passive and some activatable during the game. When an ability is ready to use, a special icon appears under its name, turning gray once activated.

Each badge adds a strategic layer to the game. For instance, using a badge that multiplies your current score is best when you're leading, requiring you to balance greed with intuition.

Dice poker is a staple in many RPGs, and in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, it's elevated to new heights. Remember, losing isn't the end of the world. If you're feeling adventurous, use your pickpocketing skills to recover your losses while your opponent sleeps.
