Description
Buró Kingdomino Board Game is an enchanting blend of dominoes and kingdom-building, designed by the award-winning Bruno Cathala (known for 7 Wonders Duel, Five Tribes, Ishtar). This game transforms the classic elements of dominoes into a dynamic and strategic competition of territory expansion and royal conquest, suitable for 2 to 4 players.
In Kingdomino, you play as an ambitious king seeking to extend your kingdom's reach. Each turn, you will select a new domino-like tile depicting various types of terrain and strategically attach it to your existing kingdom, ensuring at least one side matches a terrain type already in play. This placement is crucial as you aim to form expansive territories and score as many points as possible.
The game mechanics introduce a clever twist on tile selection: the order in which players choose new tiles depends on the tiles selected in the previous round. Strategic selection is key, especially when securing tiles adorned with crowns—these royal treasures significantly multiply the value of your territories at the end of the game.
Components include:
- 4 starting tiles (pink, yellow, green, blue)
- 4 castles (pink, yellow, green, blue)
- 48 terrain tiles
- 8 king tokens (2 in each color)
Players: 2-4
Average playtime: 15 minutes
Recommended age: 8 years and up
The game concludes once each player has formed a 5x5 grid with their tiles. Points are then calculated based on the number of connecting tiles and crowns. Kingdomino is a fast-paced, engaging game that challenges players to think strategically and plan ahead, making it an excellent choice for families and friends seeking a fun, interactive gaming experience.
