1. How to Play the Dice Game: Kingdom Come Deliverance II

Dice is a popular and easy-to-play gambling game in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, where the goal is to outscore your opponent by rolling dice.

To start the game, a random player goes first, shaking and rolling six dice onto the game table. The player has to look at the rolled numbers and set aside a valid combination.

If no valid combination can be made, the player is “busted,” earning zero points for the round and passing the turn to their opponent.

Here are the correct combinations and their corresponding point values:

Combination	Score
1	100
5	50
1-2-3-4-5	500
2-3-4-5-6	750
1-2-3-4-5-6	1,500
1-1-1	1,000
2-2-2	200
3-3-3	300
4-4-4	400
5-5-5	500
6-6-6	600
1-1-1-1	2,000
2-2-2-2	400
3-3-3-3	600
4-4-4-4	800
5-5-5-5	1,000
6-6-6-6	1,200
1-1-1-1-1	4,000
2-2-2-2-2	800
3-3-3-3-3	1,200
4-4-4-4-4	1,600
5-5-5-5-5	2,000
6-6-6-6-6	2,400
1-1-1-1-1-1	8,000
2-2-2-2-2-2	1,600
3-3-3-3-3-3	2,400
4-4-4-4-4-4	3,200
5-5-5-5-5-5	4,000
6-6-6-6-6-6	4,800

i. Risk VS Reward

After finding a valid combination, the player must decide whether to secure their points or roll again.

• If you choose to end your turn after setting aside a correct combination, your scored points will be safely added to your total.
• However, choosing to roll again will put your scored points at risk. If the next roll doesn’t create a strong combination, you will be “busted” again and your temporary points will be lost.

2. Strategies to Win the Dice Game: Kingdom Come Deliverance II

With practice and strategic thinking, winning at dice can become a reliable way to earn currency in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Here are some tips to improve your chances of winning:

General Tips

• When separating dice, focus on combinations that leave you with more dice for the next roll.
• Avoid scoring single fives; instead, focus on saving ones, which can add up to 100 points.
• Aim for three-of-a-kind or better rolls to quickly secure points.

Managing Risk

• If you’re behind in the game, take calculated risks to catch up. If you’re ahead, use a careful approach to maintain your lead.
• Consider the score threshold: if your points are below 200, it’s worth rolling three dice to minimize potential losses.

Special Dice

• Alternate dice can significantly impact your gameplay; so use them strategically to rack up points.
• Experiment with different dice combinations to maximize their effects.

• Before starting a game, you can choose to play with a badge, which will determine the available game modes based on your opponent’s badges.
• To use badges, both players must have a badge of the same rarity level. You can earn badges through various means, including completing specific challenges or winning matches.
• Each player can only use one badge per game. You can choose your preferred badge from your inventory before the match begins.
