Where to Play Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
During the tutorial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you'll be introduced to the basics of dice, setting the stage for your understanding of the game's mechanics and strategies.
Once you're past the tutorial, you'll find dice players at nearly every inn or tavern in the open world. If you're unsure where to go, head to the nearest town and look for NPCs hanging around outside taverns or inns. Engage them in conversation to start a dice game.
How to Score in Dice
The objective is to outscore your opponent by reaching the predetermined goal score first. You start with six dice and can roll them multiple times in your turn. However, be cautious: if you roll without scoring any points, your turn ends, and you lose all points accumulated in that turn. Also, you'll lose one die per roll, making it progressively harder to score as your turn continues.
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 additional matching dice doubles the points. For example, three 2s yield 200 points, but four 2s give you 400, five 2s give you 800, and six 2s give you 1,600 points.
Badges
