Where to Play Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The tutorial introduces the basics of dice, providing a solid foundation for strategy. Beyond the tutorial, you'll find dice games readily available at almost every inn and tavern throughout the game's open world. Simply head to the nearest town, locate an NPC near a tavern or inn, and initiate a game.
How to Score in Dice
The objective is straightforward: outscore your opponent to reach the target score. Each game has a predetermined winning score. You begin with six dice and can re-roll as many times as desired per turn. However, a turn without any scoring combination results in a loss of all accumulated points for that turn. Strategic timing is crucial. You also lose a die with each roll, increasing the difficulty of achieving scoring combinations with subsequent rolls.
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 |
Triple combinations receive a bonus: additional matching dice after the initial three double your score (e.g., three 2s = 200, four 2s = 400, five 2s = 800, six 2s = 1600).
