Where to Play Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The tutorial introduces the basics of dice, providing a solid foundation for strategy. Beyond that, you'll find dice games readily available at nearly every inn and tavern throughout the game world. If you're ever unsure, simply head to the nearest town and look for an NPC sitting outside a tavern or inn; they'll be happy to challenge you.
How to Score in Dice
The objective is simple: outscore your opponent. Each game has a target score, and the first to reach it wins. You begin with six dice and can re-roll as many times as you like during your turn. However, a roll yielding no scoring combination ends your turn, forfeiting all accumulated points for that round. Strategic timing is key! Remember, you lose a die with each re-roll, making successful combinations increasingly challenging.
Here's the scoring breakdown:
| Combination | Points |
|---|---|
| One | 100 |
| Five | 50 |
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | 500 |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 | 750 |
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 | 1,500 |
| Three 1s | 1,000 |
| Three 2s | 200 |
| Three 3s | 300 |
| Three 4s | 400 |
| Three 5s | 500 |
| Three 6s | 600 |
For triples, additional matching dice multiply your score. For example, three 2s are worth 200, four 2s are 400, five 2s are 800, and six 2s are 1,600.
