About this game

Kingdomino goes prehistoric. You are still laying dominoes to grow your little territory, but now fire changes everything: volcano tiles ignite regions, and igniting the right terrain earns bonus points other kingdoms cannot reach. Three modes layer in wooden resources and caveman tokens who each score in their own quirky way once you bring them home. It plays in the same brisk, spatial-puzzle rhythm as the original Kingdomino, drafting tiles and fitting them into a tidy grid, but the extra systems give experienced players real decisions while newcomers can stick to the base rules. A great next step once your family has outgrown plain Kingdomino.
