fail almost everytime i undersatnd the rules but just can't win. I master other QTEs like fist fighting and arm wrestling but not this one. Any tricks I need to know/

Entirely random. There's no real skill. Once you understand the basic rule of the game, it's up to luck.

thats what i though but i heard in witcher 1 the dice rules are different and there is some certain skills. I never play first one though. When witcher 2 explain the rules I first thought it was like texas hold'em and then I realize it is not the same thing. Now I have to quick save everytime I won and if I lost next game i load my last save. So frustrating.

There were only two things different in The Witcher 1:
1) Dice that roll off the table still count.
2) Best of 3.

ahhh...same thing after all...sign well is there any cheating mods for it

everytime my oppnents reroll first and I lost. Every single F**king time.

I can't remember the guy's name, but he's the champion in Loc Muinne. I rolled five sixes natural in our match.

I was laffin' my butt off. Never ever seen that roll, TW1 or TW2.

There was once when the NPC rolled his dice off the table. I nearly fell out of my chair.

Anyway I beat a supposedly master in dice poker on first try. And next I know I lose 4 times in a row to a dwarf. So yeah it depends a lot on luck, i.e. there is nothing to master.

Good thing you can keep trying until you win so it is not like you fail a quest if you lose.

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run

i don't know the control for keyboard but if you're using 360 controller you can press X button to select the highlighted dice. Then press A to re-roll the dice. There are trick but most of them depends on luck.

i figure it out you can use mouse and left click highlight dice and use spacebar to reroll them thanks

I've noticed that when an NPC rolls a die off the table on his first throw, he can somehow still reroll them, but from what I can tell I can't do the same.

Also I liked the best two out of three rule from The Witcher 1 alot better, for some reason it seems to me that this evened the odds a little.

That's pretty damn good with 5 dice. ;)

It's all just chance anyway.. Sometimes I get a great hand, sometimes I suck. I've won sometimes with a bad hand, and lost with a good one. The only thing that is not fair is that if your opponent loses a die off the table, he gets it back. If you overshoot and lose a die - you have to play with 4.
