Queendomino
A royal occasion to celebrate
Designer: Bruno Cathala | Artist: Cyril Bouquet
Described by creator Bruno Cathala himself as the game he wanted to play after hundreds of Kingdomino matches, Queendomino evolves the Spiel des Jahres winner’s simple kingdom-laying game with the abilities to construct buildings, tax your lands and even play host to the eponymous royal.
The basics remain the same as in Kingdomino: players connect dominoes to their grid, before reserving their next tile (and deciding the following turn’s order) by popping their king down on one of the next four tiles. The bulk of players’ points are still earned from multiplying the number of connected matching squares by the number of crowns in that territory – but there are several new aspects to consider, too.
