To start playing, you'll need to find willing opponents, often found in taverns or encountered during your travels. Once you propose a game, you'll set the bet. It's wise to bet cautiously, as there's always a risk of losing. The objective is to accumulate a specific number of points before your opponent. Higher bets require more points to win. Points are scored through various dice combinations, which you can check by pressing "E" during the game.

On your turn, Henry rolls the dice. You can choose which combinations to score, and if there are none, the turn passes to your opponent. During your selection phase, you can set aside dice that score points and re-roll the others, continuing this process as long as you get successful combinations. However, a roll without any combinations means you lose all points for that turn.

If no combinations remain after selecting dice, you can re-roll all six dice. With some luck, multiple re-rolls can lead to a high score. However, remember that each unsuccessful roll could end your turn.

What’s the Best Dice Game Strategy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Maximizing your points often involves following certain strategies. While luck plays a role, these tips can help you make the most of your rolls:
One effective method is to secure points by setting aside a single die showing a one or a five, as these allow you to re-roll the rest. The probability of rolling at least one of these numbers is high, making this a relatively safe approach. However, as you re-roll with fewer dice, the chances of scoring combinations decrease. With four dice left, it's usually safer to keep your points rather than risk losing them all.

Re-rolling three or fewer dice is risky and often not worth the potential reward. Unless you have special dice, it's usually better to stick with what you have.
In critical situations where you need to catch up, setting aside one die and re-rolling the rest can be a good strategy. This increases your chances of getting a better result than your initial roll. If luck isn't on your side, assess whether you can achieve the needed points with fewer dice, but only continue re-rolling if losing is the likely alternative.

Each badge game requires its own strategy, adding excitement and variety. For instance, using a badge that multiplies your current score is most effective when your score is high, requiring a balance between greed and intuition.
