To engage in this game, you'll first need to find fellow gamblers, typically found in taverns or encountered while resting during your travels.

Victory in the dice game requires accumulating a certain number of points before your opponent, with higher bets necessitating more points to win. Points are scored through specific dice combinations, which you can review by pressing "E" during the game. On your turn, Henry rolls the dice, and you choose which combinations to score. If your roll yields no valid combinations, including ones and fives, your turn ends, and play passes to your opponent.

During your turn, you can set aside dice that score points and re-roll the rest. This strategy can lead to higher scores, but be warned: a single roll without combinations can cost you all the points you've accumulated in that turn.

If you've exhausted all combinations, you can re-roll all six dice. With a bit of luck, you might re-roll multiple times, amassing a significant score.

What’s the Best Dice Game Strategy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

A reliable strategy involves capitalizing on the high probability of rolling a one or a five, which allows you to re-roll the remaining dice. This approach is safer for accumulating points. However, as you continue rolling and the number of dice decreases, so does the chance of forming combinations. With four dice left, the risk of losing your accumulated points increases, suggesting it's wiser to secure your current score rather than gamble further.

Re-rolling three or fewer dice is generally risky and not often rewarding. The odds of scoring a high-value combination diminish, making it a strategy best reserved for when using special dice.

In critical situations where you need to maximize points in one turn, consider setting aside a single die and re-rolling the rest. This can yield better results than sticking with suboptimal combinations. If luck isn't on your side, assess whether you can achieve the necessary points with fewer dice before continuing to re-roll.
