Where to Play Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
During the tutorial segment of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you'll be introduced to the basics of dice, giving you a solid foundation on how the game works and its strategies. Once you're past the tutorial, you'll find dice players at nearly every inn or tavern throughout the open world. If you're unsure where to start, simply visit the nearest town and look for NPCs lounging outside taverns or inns. Engage them in conversation to initiate a game of dice.
How to Score in Dice
The essence of the dice game is to accumulate points to surpass your opponent. Each game has a target score, and the first to reach it wins. You begin with six dice and can roll them multiple times within your turn. However, if you roll and fail to achieve a scoring combination, your turn ends, and you lose all points earned in that turn. It's crucial to know when to stop rolling, as you lose one die with each roll, making it progressively harder to score.
Here are the scoring combinations:
| Combination | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | 100 |
| 5 | 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, scoring another matching die doubles the points. For example, three 2s yield 200 points, four 2s give you 400, five 2s offer 800, and six 2s result in 1,600 points.
