Where to Play Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Your journey with dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 begins during the tutorial segment, where you'll get a solid introduction to the game's mechanics and strategies. Once you're past the tutorial, you'll find dice players in almost every inn or tavern across the game's expansive open world. If you're unsure where to look, head to the nearest town and seek out an NPC lounging outside a tavern or inn. A quick chat with them will kick off your dice-playing adventure.
How to Score in Dice
Now, let's dive into the exciting part—scoring. The objective is to outscore your opponent by reaching the predetermined goal score first. You begin each turn with six dice, which you can roll multiple times. However, if you fail to achieve any scoring combination on a roll, your turn ends, and you lose all the points you've accumulated. As you roll, you'll lose one die per roll, making it increasingly challenging to secure a scoring combination. Knowing when to stop rolling is key to success.
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 doubles if you roll an additional matching die. For example, three 2s score 200 points, four 2s score 400, five 2s score 800, and six 2s score 1,600.
