Rules of the Dice Game

To start, you'll need to find fellow gamblers, typically found in taverns or during your travels. Once you've found a willing opponent, you'll need to agree on a bet. It's wise to bet cautiously, as there's always a risk of losing your hard-earned coin.

The objective is to accumulate a set number of points before your opponent. Higher bets mean you'll need more points to win. Points are scored through specific dice 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, and after selecting, you'll score points and end your turn. If your roll yields no combinations, including ones and fives, the turn passes to your opponent.

During the selection phase, you can set aside dice that score points and re-roll the rest. You can continue this process as long as you keep getting successful combinations, adding new points to your total. However, if you roll without any combinations, you'll lose all points for that turn.

If no combinations remain after selecting dice, you can re-roll all six dice. With a bit of luck, you might re-roll multiple times, accumulating a substantial number of points.

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

To maximize your points, follow these strategic tips, which are based on the most likely outcomes:

A safe method for accumulating points involves setting aside a die showing a one or a five after each roll. The probability of rolling at least one of these numbers is high, making this a reliable strategy. However, as you continue rolling with fewer dice, the risk of not getting any combinations increases. When you're down to four dice, it's often better to keep your points rather than risk losing them all.

Re-rolling three or fewer dice is generally risky and not worth the potential reward. The chances of getting a high-scoring combination are low, and it's usually only advisable with special dice, which we'll discuss next.

If you need to score as many points as possible in one turn, especially in a critical situation, consider setting aside one die and re-rolling the rest. This approach can lead to a better outcome than your initial roll, though the chances are smaller. Evaluate whether you can achieve the needed points with fewer dice before deciding to continue re-rolling.

Special Dice and Badges

At the start of the game, choose the dice that offer the best overall effect. Labels on the board will help you keep track of which dice you're using. Some dice are particularly useful for re-rolling to guarantee a one or five when you have fewer dice left.

In addition to special dice, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* introduces badges. These can be wagered alongside money, adding a new layer of strategy. Badges offer unique effects, some passive and others activatable during the game. Each badge game requires a tailored approach, adding excitement and variety to your gameplay.

For instance, using a badge that multiplies your current score is best when your score is high, but timing its use requires intuition and a bit of risk-taking.
