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, which will set the stage for your understanding of the game and its strategies.
As you progress, you'll find dice players at nearly every inn or tavern throughout the 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. Engage them in conversation to initiate a game of dice.
How to Score in Dice
Now, let's dive into the mechanics of the game. The objective is to accumulate points to surpass your opponent's score. Each game has a target score, and the first player to reach it emerges victorious. You begin with six dice, which you can roll multiple times during your turn. However, if you roll without achieving any scoring combinations, your turn ends, and you lose all points earned during that turn. This necessitates strategic decision-making on when to end your turn. Additionally, you lose one die with each subsequent roll, increasing the difficulty of securing scoring combinations.
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 escalates with additional matching dice. For example, three 2s score 200 points, but four 2s score 400, five 2s score 800, and six 2s score 1,600.
