Description
This is an incredibly fun twist on the classic game of dominoes. In this game, you’re royalty in search of new lands so you can expand your kingdom. But you’ll need to hurry to snag the best spots before other royalty gets there first.
This game is simple to learn, quick to play, and challenging enough to keep adults coming back for more too. And when you play this tile laying game with your child, you’ll build their strategic thinking and problem-solving skills, all while having a great time connecting as a family.
Note: The manufacturer says this is for ages 8 and up, but according to several other families (including mine!) most 6-year-olds and even some 5-year-olds are ready for this game.
From the Manufacturer
Dominoes with a kingdom building twist! Each turn, connect a new domino to your existing kingdom, making sure at least one of its sides connects to a matching terrain type already in play. The game mechanics for obtaining the tiles is clever: the order of who picks first depends on which tile was previously chosen. Make sure to secure tiles with crowns – these royal treasures help to multiply the worth of your kingdom at the end of the game!
The game ends when each player has completed a 5×5 grid, and then points are counted based on number of connecting tiles and crowns.
WARNING: Choking Hazard – Contains small parts not suitable for children under 3 years.

Our family loves this game! It incorporates patterns, multiplication, and strategy, and with several variations on the rules, this works well for two players, and adds different objectives to games with more players. As adults, we enjoy it and play it regularly as a family with our 8 year old son.

Kingdomino is a quick game to play and learn. We bend the rules and allow for kingdoms not to be in a grid. This allows some interesting shapes and helps the youngest (8) feel better able to play. 12 yr old and parents can be ruthless.
