Rules of the Dice Game

First, find someone to play dice with. Taverns are a good place to start, or you might encounter someone while traveling. Once you've found a willing opponent, decide on your bet. Remember, losing is always a possibility, so bet responsibly.

The goal is to accumulate a target number of points before your opponent. The higher the bet, the higher the target score. Points are awarded for specific dice combinations. Press "E" at any time to view the point values for each combination.
On your turn, roll the dice. You can choose which combinations to score. After selecting your dice, you'll receive your points and your turn ends. If you roll with no scoring combinations (including ones and fives), your turn passes to your opponent.

During the selection phase, you can set aside scoring dice and re-roll the remaining ones. You can continue re-rolling as long as you have successful combinations. New points are added to your existing total.
This strategy allows you to accumulate more points than a single roll, but be warned: if you roll without any scoring combinations, you lose all points for that turn and your turn ends.

If you have no scoring combinations after selecting dice, you can re-roll all six dice. With a little luck, you might even chain several re-rolls, racking up a massive point total!
What's the Best Dice Game Strategy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
While luck plays a role, certain strategies improve your odds. These tips are based on statistically likely outcomes.

Since a single one or five allows you to re-roll, a safe strategy is to target these. The probability of rolling at least one one or five across six dice is relatively high, often more frequent than other combinations. This allows you to consistently accumulate points.
Using this strategy, set aside one die after each roll if no better options exist. Remember, fewer dice decrease your chances of scoring combinations. When you have four or fewer dice left, the risk of losing everything increases significantly; it’s often better to secure your current points.

Re-rolling three or fewer dice is generally risky and rarely yields significant rewards. The probability of getting three ones is low, and other combinations rarely justify the risk of losing everything. Only risk this with special dice (discussed below).
To maximize points in a crucial moment, if your roll is unsatisfactory, consider setting aside a single die instead of better combinations and re-rolling. This increases your chances of a better result, though the probability is lower than your initial roll.
If luck isn't on your side, assess whether you can reach the target score with combinations from fewer dice. If so, continue re-rolling, but only if losing is otherwise highly probable.

Special Dice and Badges
Significantly improve your odds with special dice, found throughout the game world, as quest rewards, or from merchants. Each die offers unique properties, increasing your chances of favorable combinations.

Choose your dice at the start of the game. Combine them for optimal effect. Labels appear on the board to help you keep track. Some dice are best saved for re-rolls, guaranteeing a one or five when you have fewer dice remaining.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 also introduces badges. When setting up the game, wager a badge alongside your money. Badges provide unique effects, some passive, others activated with a button press. An icon appears under the badge name during the game; it turns gray after activation.

Each badge has its own strategy. Some add excitement, like multiplying your score. Use these wisely—for example, a multiplier is best when you have a high score, but since you don't know when that will be, you must balance risk and reward.

While losing is possible, don't reload your save. Your opponent sleeps, and if needed, your pickpocketing skills can help recoup your losses!
