How to Play Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Dice games are a popular pastime in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, offering a chance to turn your hard-earned groschen into a small fortune—if luck is on your side. You’ll find dice tables scattered across Bohemia, particularly in taverns, where locals and travelers alike gather to test their fortunes. While largely a game of chance, understanding the rules, strategies, and special mechanics can give you an edge. Here’s everything you need to know about playing dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Where to Find Dice Tables

If you’re looking to play, taverns are your best bet. Dice tables are commonly found in settlements, including Troskowitz, Tachov, Semine, and Zhelejov Wagoners’ Inn. They’re marked on your map with a dice icon, and when you’re close, you’ll see the same symbol appear on your compass.

To start a game, approach a table and speak with an opponent. You’ll need to decide whether to play with or without badges and set your wager. Badges grant special abilities during a match, allowing for higher bets, but not all players will accept them. Before rolling, you can also swap in any loaded dice you’ve acquired—perfect for stacking the odds in your favor.

How Dice Works & Basic Strategy

The game itself is a simple risk-versus-reward dice-rolling contest. You and your opponent take turns rolling six dice, aiming to form high-scoring combinations. The first player to reach the score limit wins the pot. Since luck plays a major role, save-scumming (reloading after a loss) is an effective way to minimize your losses and maximize profits.

Each turn starts with rolling all six dice. Any that score points can be set aside while the rest are re-rolled to improve your total. You can continue rolling as long as you set aside at least one scoring die per turn. However, if a roll results in no valid scoring combinations, you go bust and lose all unbanked points.

Key Tips for Winning at Dice:

• Save before playing. Having a fresh save allows you to reload and retry if you lose. A quick nap or a sip of Saviour Schnapps ensures you can roll the dice without serious financial setbacks.
• Be mindful of your first roll. If you don’t get strong scoring combinations, hold onto only one scoring die instead of multiple. This keeps more dice in play for your next roll, increasing the chances of hitting a high-value combination.
• Know when to stop. As your dice count decreases, so do your odds of scoring. If you’re down to three dice or fewer, it’s often best to pass and bank your points instead of risking a bust.
• A full set lets you keep going. If you successfully score with all six dice in a single turn, you get to roll them all again, offering a chance to rack up a massive score—if you’re willing to gamble it.
• Use loaded dice. Swapping in special dice before a match can significantly improve your odds. Keep an eye out for traders selling loaded dice and use them when the stakes are high.
• Collect badges for high-stakes games. Some opponents will only play for large wagers if badges are in play. Vendors occasionally sell them, but you can also win several by competing in the dice tournament at the wedding event.

Dice Scoring Combinations

To win, you’ll need to recognize valuable dice combinations. Like poker hands, different groupings yield different points:

• Single 1 – 100 points
• Single 5 – 50 points
• Straight (1-5) – 500 points
• Straight (2-6) – 750 points
• Full Straight (1-6) – 1,500 points

Three of a Kind:

• Three 1s – 1,000 points
• Three 2s – 200 points
• Three 3s – 300 points
• Three 4s – 400 points
• Three 5s – 500 points
• Three 6s – 600 points

Four, Five, and Six of a Kind:

• Four of a kind – Double the value of three of a kind
• Five of a kind – Double the value of four of a kind
• Six of a kind – Double the value of five of a kind

The best possible roll? Six 1s, scoring a massive 8,000 points.

Dice is a fun way to pass the time and make some easy money—if you play smart. Managing risk, using special dice, and knowing when to stop can all tip the odds in your favor. And if all else fails? There’s always save-scumming.
