Kingdomino
Players act as lords expanding a 5x5 realm by drafting and placing domino-style terrain tiles with two terrain sections each. Each turn players select a tile from a visible draft, then add it to their grid with at least one side matching an adjacent terrain type already in the kingdom. Turn order shifts based on tile selection: choosing higher-value tiles moves a player later in the next round. The game ends after players complete their grids or run out of space, and scoring counts contiguous terrain areas multiplied by crown symbols on those tiles.

Garfield6.0 #46 BGExpansions in Box Hm, I was waiting forever for a wheat crown tile. Bad luck that 4 of 5 were put out of the game. So no chance for me. I guess it's better when all tiles are in the game. 4 player game was a better experience than the 3 player one. Good family game.

Mohasz6.0 I might re-buy it along with Age of Giants if I can catch a good discount. The goal tiles sound fun and the little interaction the giants bring cannot hurt.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Does my domino have to match terrain on both squares?
No. It must connect to your starting tile or match at least one adjacent terrain square horizontally or vertically; the starting tile counts as any terrain. (p. 6)
Can I keep a domino if it doesn’t fit, or do I have to place it?
If it can be legally placed, you must place it—even if it doesn’t help you. If it cannot be placed while following the connection and 5×5 kingdom rules, discard it and score no points for it. (p. 6)
How do I score a territory, and what if it has no crowns?
Multiply the number of squares in that territory by the number of crowns in it. A territory with no crowns scores nothing, and separate groups of the same terrain score separately. (p. 7)
Do I get to pick another domino on the final turn?
No. On the final turn, each player only places their last domino; they do not choose a new one. (p. 7)
What happens if players tie on points?
The tied player with the largest territory wins; if still tied, the player with the most crowns wins. If they are still tied, they share the victory. (p. 7)
