Rules of the Dice Game

First, find a dice opponent—usually in taverns or during travel rests. Agree on a stake; remember, losing is always a possibility, so bet responsibly.

Victory requires accumulating a target number of points before your opponent. Higher bets demand more points. Points are awarded for specific dice combinations; press "E" to view these combinations and their point values.
Your turn involves rolling the dice. You'll see several combinations; choose which ones to score. After selecting, you'll earn points and end your turn. No combinations (including ones and fives)? Your turn passes.

During selection, set aside point-yielding dice and re-roll the rest. Repeat this process as long as you achieve combinations; new points are added to your total. This can earn you more points than a single roll, but a roll without combinations forfeits all points for that turn.

If no combinations remain after selection, re-roll all six dice. With luck, you can re-roll multiple times, accumulating a massive point total.

Consistent point accumulation often follows these guidelines. While luck plays a role, these tips are based on probability.

A safe strategy involves using ones or fives to re-roll. The probability of at least one one or five is high, often exceeding the chance of other combinations. This method lets you set aside one die after each roll. However, remember that fewer dice reduce your chances of getting combinations. With four or fewer dice, the risk of losing everything increases; it's wiser to secure your current points.

Re-rolling three or fewer dice is generally risky and yields low rewards. The chances of three ones are slim, and other combinations rarely justify the risk. This strategy is only advisable with special dice (discussed below).
To maximize points in a crucial moment with an unsatisfactory roll, set aside a single die instead of better combinations and re-roll. This improves your odds, though less than the initial roll, it's worth considering.
If luck isn't on your side, assess if the needed points are achievable with fewer dice. If so, continue re-rolling, but only when losing is otherwise probable.

Special Dice and Badges
Significantly improve your odds with special dice—a form of in-game advantage. Find them throughout the game world, as quest rewards, or from merchants. Each die has unique properties, increasing favorable combinations.

Choose your dice at the start. Combine them for optimal effects. Labels appear on the board to identify them. Reserve certain dice for re-rolls, guaranteeing ones or fives with fewer dice.

Badges offer another strategic layer. When initiating a game, choose to wager your badge alongside money. They provide unique effects—some passive, others activated via a button (indicated by an icon).

Each badge has its own strategy. Some introduce exciting new elements, such as multiplying your score. Use such multipliers wisely, when your score is already high; trust your intuition.
