Earning Groschen in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can be a challenge, especially early on. A surprisingly effective way to boost your income is through gambling—specifically, dice games. Here's your guide to mastering the dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Where to Play Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The tutorial introduces the basics of dice, providing a solid foundation for strategy. Beyond that, you'll find dice games readily available at almost every inn and tavern throughout the game world. Simply visit a town, locate an NPC sitting outside an establishment, and initiate a game.
How to Score in Dice
The objective is simple: outscore your opponent to reach the target score. You begin with six dice and can re-roll as many times as desired within your turn. However, a roll yielding no scoring combination ends your turn, forfeiting all accumulated points for that round. Strategic re-rolling is key. Remember, you lose a die with each re-roll, making scoring progressively harder.
Here's the scoring breakdown:
Combination | Points |
---|---|
One 1 | 100 |
One 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 |
Triples earn bonus points for additional matching dice. For example, three 2s are worth 200, but four 2s become 400, five 2s are 800, and six 2s yield 1,600.
