Farkle. The name alone sounds like something that either belongs in a medieval tavern or a pirate's cursing repertoire. But in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, it's your go-to dice game if you’re looking to test your luck, swindle some Groschen, and maybe even throw a smug nobleman into a fit of rage.

However, Farkle isn't just about mindlessly rolling dice and praying to the RNG gods. There's strategy involved, a little bit of risk-taking, and, of course, a healthy dose of patience. If you want to win dice games in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s how to turn the odds in your favor.

Match Types, Wagers, and Target Scores

So, you’ve found yourself in a smoky tavern, eyeing some poor peasant’s last few Groschen. But before you start taking everyone’s money, you need to understand how the game works. When you challenge someone to a match, you’ll be given two game mode options:

• With Badges – Lets you use accessories that have special perks (more on this later).
• Without Badges – A classic, no-frills version of Farkle. You’ll also have to agree on a wager. The wealthier your opponent, the higher you can bet. A nobleman might spend 150 Groschen while a peasant's maximum is a fistful. Also, focus on the target score, which indicates the points you must reach to win. Generally, bigger wagers mean higher target scores, so prepare yourself for longer, more intense matches when there’s real money on the line.

The Farkle Scoring System

Winning at Farkle means understanding how points are earned. You roll six dice, and different numbers and combinations give you different point values:

• Solo 1: +100 points
• Solo 5: +50 points
• Straight (1 to 5): +500 points
• Straight (2 to 6): +750 points
• Full Straight (1 to 6): 1,500 points (Jackpot, baby!)
• Triple 1s: +1,000 points
• Triple 2s: +200 points
• Triple 3s: +300 points
• Triple 4s: +400 points
• Triple 5s: +500 points
• Triple 6s: +600 points And if you get more than three of a kind, the points double for each extra die:
• Quadruple 2s: +400 points
• Quintuple 2s: +800 points
• All 2s: +1,600 points Here’s an important rule: Combinations must come from a single roll. As an example, you can’t now roll two fours and expect another four on your next roll. You “bust” or lose any points you earned that round if your roll does not include any scoring dice.

Playing It Safe vs. Taking Risks

Winning isn’t just about getting good rolls. It’s about knowing when to push your luck and when to play it safe. There are two key strategies:

• Score and Pass – Take your points and end your turn.
• Score and Continue – Keep rolling to rack up more points at the risk of busting.

Example Scenario

Let’s say you roll 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 6.

• The 1 is worth +100 points.
• The 5 is worth +50 points.
• There are no special combos.

At this point, you could:

1. Play it safe – Select the 1 and end your turn with 100 points.
2. Risk it – Keep rolling, hoping for a higher combo. If you choose to roll again, you’ll be down to five dice. If your next roll is 1, 2, 2, 4, or 5, you can bank more points. But if your third roll is 2, 2, 3, 4—you're out. Bust. No points for you. Now, let’s say you somehow pull off a full straight. That’s a whopping 1,500 points in a single roll. If you’re feeling greedy, you could roll all six dice again and push your luck. Sometimes, it pays off, and sometimes, it doesn’t. That’s Farkle, baby!

Using Badges and Special Dice

Want to stack the odds in your favor? Time to bring out the special dice and badges.

• Special dice can be equipped before a match, increasing your chances of rolling higher-value numbers.
• Badges (only available in badge-enabled matches) allow you to activate perks like doubling your score, rerolling bad results, or even nullifying an opponent’s turn. Using these wisely can mean the difference between an easy payday and walking out of the tavern with empty pockets.

Final Tips for Winning at Farkle

Now that you’ve got the basics down, here are some pro tips:

• Always prioritize rolling for 1s and triples. These are the best ways to rack up points quickly.
• Don’t take unnecessary risks early on. If your opponent is far behind, play conservatively. If they’re catching up, then take risks.
• Watch your opponent’s playstyle. If they’re playing aggressively, you might want to counter with a safer approach. If they’re too cautious, exploit their hesitation by pushing for bigger plays.
• Use special dice and badges when available. They can turn a losing game into a win.
