HOW TO PLAY
In Kingdomino, each player builds a 5×5 kingdom by connecting domino-like tiles showing different terrains (forest, lakes, fields, mountains, etc.). Each domino has two squares with different or matching terrains. Some tiles have crowns that multiply points.
- Players start with a single castle tile
- Each round, players take turns selecting tiles from the available options
- The order you pick in the current round determines when you'll pick in the next round (picking a better tile means picking later next time)
- When placing a tile, at least one side must connect to a matching terrain type (like Dominoes)
- If you can't legally place your tile, you must discard it
At the end, you score points by multiplying the size of each connected square in a territory by the number of crowns in that territory. For example, if you have 4 connected forest squares with 2 crowns, that's worth 8 points.
The player with the most points wins!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Serious kudos for the dev team that took an amazing game and nailed digitizing it. Superb UI, sounds, graphics and effects. We havent loved a digital game edition this much since carcassonne a decade ago. For those who dont already know Kingdomino, it deservedly won awards. Insane snag for $3, recommend getting the physical game too! It is a simple game that is well balanced and the true challenge is your opponent. Get this if you like: Carcassonne, Santorini, or Sushi Go.
Giving this 5 stars cause honestly the implementation is great! However, we think the DLC content is pretty steep for what it is – just skins. If they are going to make the excuse for DLC it needs to actually be gameplay additions (fyi Id love to see a true solitaire mode).
Good game but HORRIBLE multi-player. When playing with friends online in different areas, the game will kick them out automatically when they close the app and put in a bot. No other board game app does this. This app needs to fix its multi-player so people can join their friends games and not be kicked out for closing the app to do their stuff. Please fix this.
Updating our rating to five stars following updates including a replay button.
The confirm button needs to be moved to the top of the screen. Several times we are trying to place the domino at the bottom of our kingdom in a certain spot and inadvertently press the confirm buttton when we are trying to arrange the domino. Since there is no undo (which would be great to have if the domino choice hasnt been made), this has led to some frustrating moments.
Our physical copy of Kingdomino has been one of our favorite board games in our collection for years. So far, Im really satisfied with this digital edition! Im happy that this game is a one time purchase with no ads, and that all of the in-app purchases are aesthetic.
There are two big problems with this app. First: the default 3D view is attractive, but anti-functional from a gameplay perspective; when trying to place a domino youre as likely to rotate the board – needlessly – as you are to actually place the domino, which can even obscure the visibility to legal placements late game. If you toggle to 2D mode, you are presented with a board that does not move or resize, and some of the large, unhidable interface buttons will obscure places you want to play your domino. Second, while there are $50 worth of unnecessary cosmetics you can buy, the ability to implement bonus scoring rules is needlessly locked behind rewards which are earned by magic dominoes which are built by getting virtual currency for playing the game, repeatedly, without the cool scoring options that make it interesting. You also have to know that in the rewards screen, the book icons are the only ones that give you these rules, a fact which is not documented anywhere in the app or its official information publications. Frankly we expected better; this is an app that focuses on presentation, very much to the detriment of gameplay.
