Making Groschen in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, especially early on, can be a real challenge. But there's a fun, fast way to boost your funds: gambling! Here's your guide to mastering the dice game.
Where to Play Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The tutorial introduces the basics of dice, providing a solid foundation for your gambling adventures. After that, you'll find dice games readily available at almost every inn and tavern across the game's open world. If you're ever unsure, simply head to the nearest town and look for an NPC sitting outside a tavern or inn – they'll be happy to play a game with you.
How to Score in Dice
The objective is simple: outscore your opponent. Each game has a target score, and the first to reach it wins. You begin with six dice and can roll as many times as you like during your turn. However, a crucial rule: if you roll and don't get any scoring combination, your turn ends, and you lose all points accumulated that turn. Strategic timing is key! Also, remember you lose one die with each roll, making scoring combinations progressively harder to achieve.
Here's the scoring breakdown:
| Combination | Points |
|---|---|
| One | 100 |
| Five | 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 |
Important note on triples: Getting more than three matching dice increases your score! Four 2s are worth 400, five are 800, and six are a whopping 1,600.
