The medieval RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 continues its predecessor's tradition of including immersive mini-games, with dice gambling making a prominent return - now enhanced with new features. While winning isn't guaranteed, our guide will help maximize your chances at the gaming table.
Rules of the Dice Game
Taverns and roadside gatherings often host dice players willing to gamble. Before playing, agree on stakes - we recommend conservative bets initially. The objective: score predetermined points before your opponent does, with higher wagers requiring higher targets.
The scoring mechanics involve:
- Recognizing dice combinations (press 'E' anytime)
- Selecting combinations to bank points
- Re-rolling unused dice to accumulate more points
- Passing your turn if no combinations appear
The strategic depth comes from risk assessment - you can keep rerolling unused dice to build your score exponentially, but one unsuccessful roll forfeits all points for that turn.
Winning Strategies
Through probability analysis, we've identified optimal play patterns:
- The Conservative Approach: Banking at least one scoring die (1s or 5s) each roll provides stability
- Risk Assessment: The danger curve spikes sharply below 4 dice - know when to stop
- High-Stakes Plays: When trailing significantly, aggressive rerolling may be your only recourse
The mathematical sweet spot exists between maximizing point accumulation and minimizing bust probability - this varies based on your current dice count and point deficit.

The beautifully implemented dice game offers endless replayability while remaining authentic to the medieval setting, making it one of the finest mini-games in modern RPGs.
