In the world of RPGs, mini-games add a delightful layer of engagement, and *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* continues this tradition with its enhanced dice game. Whether you're a seasoned gambler or a newcomer looking to strike it rich, understanding the mechanics and strategies can significantly boost your chances of winning. Let's dive into the details and learn how to master the dice game in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
Rules of the Dice Game
To start, you'll need to find fellow gamblers, typically found in taverns or during your travels. Once you've found a willing opponent, you'll need to agree on a bet. Remember, gambling always carries a risk, so it's wise not to wager all your money at once.

The objective is to accumulate a certain number of points before your opponent. Higher bets require more points to win. Points are scored through specific dice combinations, which you can view by pressing "E" during the game.

On your turn, Henry rolls the dice. You can choose which combinations to score, and if no valid combinations appear, the turn passes to your opponent. During the selection phase, you can set aside dice that score points and re-roll the rest, potentially increasing your total points. However, if a roll yields no combinations, you lose all points accumulated in that turn.

If no combinations remain after selecting dice, you can re-roll all six dice. With a bit of luck, you might re-roll multiple times, amassing a substantial score.

What’s the Best Dice Game Strategy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
To maximize your points, follow these strategic tips based on likely outcomes:

A safe method for accumulating points involves setting aside a die showing a one or five, as these allow you to re-roll the remaining dice. The probability of rolling at least one of these numbers is high, making this a reliable strategy. However, as you re-roll with fewer dice, the risk of not getting any combinations increases. When down to four dice, it's often better to keep your current points rather than risk losing them all.

Re-rolling three or fewer dice is generally risky and not worth the potential reward. The chances of rolling three ones or any other high-scoring combination are low, making it a gamble best reserved for special dice scenarios.
If you need to catch up quickly, consider setting aside one die and re-rolling the rest, even if it means passing up better combinations. This approach can yield a better result than your initial roll, though the odds are lower. Evaluate whether you can achieve the needed points with fewer dice before deciding to continue re-rolling.

Special Dice and Badges
To enhance your winning chances, consider using special dice, which can be found throughout the game world, as quest rewards, or purchased from merchants. These dice have unique properties that increase the likelihood of favorable combinations. At the start of the game, choose the dice that offer the best overall effect.

When using special dice, a label will appear on the board to help you keep track. Some dice are best saved for re-rolls, especially when you need to guarantee a one or five with fewer dice left.

Additionally, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* introduces badges, which add another layer of strategy. When setting the terms of the game, you can choose to play with badges and decide whether to wager them alongside money. Badges offer unique effects, some passive and others activatable during the game. Each badge game requires a tailored strategy, adding excitement and variety to your gameplay.

For instance, using a badge that multiplies your current score is most effective when your score is high, but timing its use requires balancing greed with intuition.
