Queendomino
Players build a personal realm by drafting and placing terrain tiles to claim wheat fields, forests, lakes, pastures, marshes and mountains. Knights, towns and buildings placed on the grid generate coins and scoring opportunities, while special tiles and the dragon introduce tactical constraints. The game supports two to four players standalone, and includes rules to combine with another compatible set for larger grids or up to six players. Gameplay focuses on tile selection order, spatial placement to expand domains, and balancing income versus scoring features.

This is how a brilliant game gets wasted for adding it nonsense mechanics for trying to make it bigger. Kingdomino it's simple and awesome. No need of this one.
Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Do dominoes have to match every touching edge, or just one square?
You only need to match at least one landscape on a touching edge when you place a domino; additionally all your dominoes must fit inside the 5x5 (3–4 players) or 7x7 (2 players) grid, otherwise the domino is discarded. (page 11)
When can I place knights and how much tax do they collect?
After you add a domino you may place 1 or 2 knights (at most one per square of the domino) from your guard onto the square(s) you just placed, and you immediately collect coins equal to the number of squares in the territory the knight sits on; the knight remains there until the end of the game. (pages 11–12)
What do I need to build a building — can I build on any town square I just placed?
To construct a building you must have at least one Town square 'still in construction' (it can be a town square added this round or earlier), then pay the listed cost, take a building from the Builders board and place it on a construction site (red side up). (page 12)
How does the Queen affect buildings and scoring?
When your kingdom has the most Towers the Queen joins your kingdom, which immediately reduces your building costs by 1 coin, and at the end of the game you place her on your largest territory where she counts as one extra crown for scoring. (page 12; end-of-game reminder page 13)
When can I use the Dragon and what happens when I do?
You can bribe the Dragon only while it is in its cave and only if the Queen is not in your kingdom: pay 1 coin to remove (burn) a building from the Builders board (it is withdrawn from the game) and place the Dragon on that spot, and only one player may use the Dragon per round; the Dragon is returned to the cave during round cleanup. (page 13)
How do I score regular territories versus towns — do towns count like other terrains with crowns?
Regular territories (fields, forests, lakes, marshes, mountains) score: number of squares × number of crowns in that territory, while Towns are scored separately by resolving the buildings in your kingdom and adding their printed/end-of-game effects; towns are not scored as standard crown territories. (pages 14–15)
