Kingdomino

Description

--- **Kingdomino** is a competitive tile-laying game where lords draft domino tiles to build matching-terrain kingdoms, balancing acquisition order and scoring via crowns and tile groups. Key mechanics include: - *Tile drafting* Players select domino tiles (two terrain sections) from a display, with order determined by prior choices—higher-value tiles delay next-round picks. - *Kingdom expansion* Tiles must connect to the existing kingdom via at least one matching terrain type (e.g., wheat fields, lakes, mountains). - *Grid completion* Players aim to fill a 5x5 grid over turns. - *Scoring system* Points from groups of connecting tiles multiplied by crown symbols on those tiles. Kingdomino is a strategic board game where players act as lords competing to expand kingdoms by drafting and placing dual-terrain domino tiles. Each turn involves selecting tiles that match existing terrain types in their growing domain, with draft position rotating based on the value of the previously chosen tile—opting for premium tiles means picking later next round. The game concludes after completing (or attempting) a 5x5 grid, awarding points calculated from the size of contiguous terrain groups and the crowns within them, emphasizing tactical trade-offs between immediate gains and future positioning. ---
