How to Play Dice in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: All Badges & Scoring Combos
Making Groschen in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, especially early on, can be a challenge. A surprisingly effective way to boost your funds is by mastering the art of dice. Here's your guide to becoming a dice-slinging champion.
Where to Find Dice Games in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The tutorial introduces you to the basics of dice, providing a solid foundation. After that, 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 strike up a conversation to begin playing.
How to Score in Dice
The objective is simple: outscore your opponent by reaching the target score first. Each game has a predetermined goal. You start with six dice and can roll as many times as you like per turn. However, a crucial rule: if you roll and don't achieve any scoring combination, your turn ends, and you forfeit all points accumulated that turn. Strategic decision-making is key! Also remember, you lose one die with each roll, making successful combinations increasingly difficult with each subsequent roll.
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 |
A bonus awaits for those lucky enough to roll triples! Getting additional matching dice after a triple increases your score exponentially. For example, three 2s are worth 200, but four 2s become 400, five 2s are 800, and six 2s a hefty 1,600.
