Where to Play Dice in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
During the tutorial segment of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you'll be introduced to the basics of dice gameplay. This introduction provides a solid foundation for understanding the game's mechanics and strategies.
Once you've completed the tutorial, you can find dice players at almost every inn or tavern across the open world. If you're unsure where to look, head to the nearest town and search for NPCs lounging outside these establishments. Simply engage them in conversation to start a game of dice.
How to Score in Dice
Now, let's delve into the exciting part—the scoring system. The objective is to accumulate points to outscore your opponent. Each game sets a target score, and the first player to reach it emerges victorious. You begin with six dice, and you can roll them multiple times within your turn. However, a critical rule to remember is that if you roll and fail to achieve any scoring combination, your turn ends, and you lose all points accrued during that turn. This necessitates strategic decision-making on when to end your turn. Additionally, with each roll, you lose one die, making it progressively harder to achieve a scoring combination.
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 another matching die. For example, three 2s earn you 200 points, but four 2s increase it to 400, five 2s to 800, and six 2s to 1,600.
