Kingdomino: Bringing the Classic Board Game to Mobile
One of the most popular genres of board games are in that of the kingdom builder variety. Settlers of Catan, Carcassone and more; but what if they’re a little too complex for younger players, or those of us whose brains are a bit too frazzled by other matters? Well then, why not have a go at Kingdomino instead, as it makes the jump soon to mobile?
The objective of Kingdomino is simple, to make a 5×5 grid of matching tiles. As with the classic game of dominoes you need to connect at least one end that has a matching number, or in this case type of tile. Naturally, it’s not just about making connections, any good kingdom needs farmland, defences and more so you’ll want to focus on making large and interconnected areas to score points!
I often say that the complexity of a given tabletop board game can be judged based on how long it takes to explain how it plays. Something like Dungeons & Dragons or Settlers of Catan rates in the “put aside an afternoon” region, while Kingdomino is almost shockingly straightforward. You can have a go for yourself when it launches, expected June 26th for both iOS and Android!
My Kingdom Come
Kingdomino offers quick, 10-20 minute matches and plenty of challenging AI opponents, as well as the ability to play locally with family and friends both on and offline. Add onto that the lovely-looking graphics which put me in the mind of something like Kingdoms & Castles over on Steam. It seems that this is a feature-rich adaptation that’ll be pleasing to fans, and if you’re anything like me, intriguing to newbies.
But if board games just aren’t your speed maybe now is the time to head back to the arcade. And if you want to have some top retro releases right in the palm of your hand, Amusement Arcade Toaplan gives you that arcade experience on the go!
