Groschen doesn’t come by easily in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, especially when you’re still early on in your adventure. A good way to earn money quickly, though, is by gambling. Here’s how to play dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
During the tutorial segment in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you’ll learn the basics of dice, which should give you a pretty good idea of how the game works and what the general strategies are.
After that, you’ll be able to find dice players at pretty much every inn or tavern you come across in the open-world. When in doubt, just head to the nearest town and look for an NPC sitting outside a tavern or inn, then speak with them to start playing.
Alright, now let’s get to the fun stuff. The goal of the game is to score points to beat your opponent. Every game has a goal score, and the first player to reach it wins. You’ll start with six dice to roll, and you can roll them as many times as you want during your turn. However, if you roll the dice and don’t get a single scoring combination in that roll, your turn ends and you lose all of the points you accrued during that turn. This means that you need to know when to call it quits for a turn. You’ll also lose one die with each roll, making it harder to get a scoring combination the more rolls you make in a turn.
Here are the scoring combinations:
| Combination | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | 100 |
| 5 | 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 |
For the triples, if you get another matching die after that, you’ll double your score. For instance, three 2s is worth 200, but four 2s is worth 400 and five 2s is worth 800, while six 2s is worth 1,600.
As you progress in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you may also come across Badges, which can make your dice games a little more interesting. Badges are usually found by looting chests or corpses, and they come in three different tiers: Tin, Silver, and Gold.

Finally, as you’re exploring the open-world, you may also come across special loaded dice as you’re looting chests and corpses. These essentially help to make your games a little easier, as they tend to land on certain numbers.
As you start a new game of dice, you can choose to swap in whichever loaded dice you want to give yourself an edge.
