To partake in the dice game, seek out fellow players, typically found in taverns or during your travels. Once you've found a willing opponent, decide on your bet—remember, gambling always carries the risk of loss, so wager wisely.

The goal is to accumulate a predetermined number of points before your opponent does. Higher bets necessitate more points to win. Points are scored through specific dice combinations. You can check these combinations by pressing "E" during the game.

On your turn, Henry rolls the dice. You can choose which combinations to score from the roll. If no valid combinations are rolled, including ones and fives, the turn passes to your opponent.

During your turn, you can set aside dice that score points and re-roll the rest. This can be done as long as you roll successful combinations, with new points adding to your total. However, one roll without combinations results in losing all points for that turn.

If no combinations remain after selecting dice, you can re-roll all six dice. With a bit of luck, you might re-roll multiple times, accumulating a significant number of points.

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

A reliable strategy involves leveraging the high probability of rolling at least one one or five, which allows you to re-roll the remaining dice. This method can safely accumulate points, as the chances of rolling these numbers on any die are quite high.

When no better options are available, setting aside one die after each roll can be beneficial. However, be aware that as the number of dice decreases, so do your chances of forming combinations. With four dice left, the risk increases, and it's often better to secure your current points rather than risk losing them.

In critical situations where you need to overtake your opponent, consider setting aside one die and re-rolling the rest if your initial roll is poor. This approach offers a chance at a better outcome, though less than the initial roll. If the needed points seem achievable with fewer dice, continue re-rolling, but only if losing is the likely alternative.
