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 almost every tavern and inn throughout the game world. If you're ever unsure, simply head to the nearest town and look for an NPC near a tavern or inn—they'll be happy to challenge you.
How to Score in Dice
The objective is simple: outscore your opponent to reach the target score. You begin with six dice and can re-roll as many times as you like during your turn. However, a roll without any scoring combinations ends your turn, forfeiting all points accumulated that round. Strategic decision-making on when to stop rolling is crucial. Remember, you lose a die with each roll, making scoring progressively harder.
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 | 1500 |
| Three 1s | 1000 |
| Three 2s | 200 |
| Three 3s | 300 |
| Three 4s | 400 |
| Three 5s | 500 |
| Three 6s | 600 |
Triples are particularly lucrative. Getting more than three matching dice doubles your score (e.g., four 2s = 400, five 2s = 800, six 2s = 1600).
