Where to Play Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The tutorial segment in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 introduces you to the basics of dice, setting the stage for your gambling endeavors. Once you've got the hang of it, you'll find dice players scattered across the game's world, particularly at inns and taverns. To locate them, simply visit any town and look for NPCs lounging near these establishments. Engage them in conversation to initiate a game.
How to Score in Dice
The objective of the dice game is straightforward: accumulate points to surpass your opponent before reaching the predetermined goal score. You begin each turn with six dice, and you're allowed multiple rolls per turn. However, if a roll results in no scoring combinations, your turn ends, and you forfeit all points gained during that turn. Additionally, each subsequent roll within a turn reduces your dice count by one, making it riskier to continue rolling.
Here are the key 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, each additional matching die doubles your score. For example, three 2s yield 200 points, but four 2s increase it to 400, five 2s to 800, and six 2s to 1,600.
