Kingdomino: Age of Giants

Description

--- <TLDR> Kingdomino: Age of Giants expansion adds giants that cover crowns, new dominoes, challenge tiles, and 5-player support, replacing traditional scoring with objectives. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Giant domino placement* Adding a giant domino requires placing a giant token to cover one crown in your kingdom. - *Footsteps tile effect* Placing a footsteps tile removes a giant token from your kingdom and forces an opponent to cover one of their crowns. - *Scoring alterations* Covered crowns do not score; traditional end-game bonuses are eliminated. - *Challenge tiles* Two tiles drawn pre-game provide new scoring methods, such as bonuses for lakes surrounding the castle or castle in a kingdom corner. - *Component integration* New dominoes shuffle with base game; adds tokens and tiles for up to five players. Kingdomino: Age of Giants is an expansion for Kingdomino or Queendomino, introducing giant tokens that cover crowns and risk crushing buildings unless redirected to opponents via footsteps tiles. New dominoes integrate with the base game's deck, triggering giant placements that penalize scoring by covering crowns, which do not count at game end. Footsteps tiles enable strategic giant relocation to rivals, enhancing competition. Traditional bonuses are removed, replaced by two randomly drawn challenge tiles per game that define alternative scoring, such as 5 points per lake encircling the castle or 20 points for a corner-positioned castle. Additional components support a fifth player, deepening tactical kingdom-building with risk-reward decisions around giants and objectives. ---
