Introduction
Watch out- here come the Giants!
They have heard the stories of ambitious kings and queens
conquering vast lands filled with never-ending riches.
They want a share of the crops, the livestock, and the gold,
and are here to stake their claim! Lucky for you, they are
just as gullible as they are greedy. Strategize carefully
to keep them away from your lands and send them
off to neighboring kingdoms. But be careful, everyone
knows that Giants are easily sidetracked, so your royal
competitors will likely be doing the same!
This expansion adds new challenges and a fifth player to
either a Kingdomino or Queendomino game.
17 Challenge Tiles
6 Wooden Giants Meeples
1 3D Castle
1 Starting Tile
2 Wooden King
Tokens (brown)

Set-up
ZZAdd all the components from this expansion to your
Kingdomino or Queendomino game.
ZZDepending on the number of players, have everyone take:
♦♦2-player game: 2 Kings of their color, a matching Castle,
and a Starting Tile to place their Castle on.
♦♦3 to 5-player game: one King of their color, a matching
Castle, and a Starting Tile to place their Castle on.
ZZCombine and shuffle the 48 Dominoes from the game with
the 12 new Dominoes from the expansion (that picture either
Giants or footsteps), making sure the side with numbers or
letters is facing up as you shuffle.
ZZPlace all the Dominoes inside the Tower, terrain side
down. The opening at the bottom of the Tower, underneath
the gate, will be used to pull the Dominoes out one at a time.
ZZShuffle the Challenge Tiles thoroughly, making sure to
keep them face down. Then, place them in a pile and flip
over the top 2 tiles. The remaining tiles in the pile will not
be used for this game.
Playing the game
Follow the Kingdomino or Queendomino rules to select and
add Dominoes to your kingdom.
The Dominoes included in the expansion pack play normally,
however, in addition to the terrains and crowns, they have
Giants and footsteps pictured on them. These allow you to
take extra actions, but don’t change the way the Dominoes
are selected and added to your kingdom.
This booklet only covers the additional rules that the Age of
Giants Expansion adds to either game.
Setting up lines of dominoes:
No matter the number of players, ALWAYS pull 5 Dominoes
from the tower each round. Remember to line them up in
numerical order, with the lowest number at the top of the
line and the highest number at the bottom of the line.
Some Dominoes have letters instead of numbers. When these
are pulled from the Tower, organize them in alphabetical
order and place them ABOVE the Dominoes with numbers.
Once the 5 Dominoes are organized correctly, flip them over.
In games with less than 5 players, discard 1 or 2 Dominoes
before you begin the selection process. Discard the Domino
located in the center of the line for a 2 or 4-player game, and
discard the 2nd and 4th Domino for a 3-player game.

5 players 2 or 4 players 3 players
Important reminder: When playing the game, you cannot
discard a Domino if there is at least one way to add it to
your kingdom following the game’s Connection Rules (see
the Kingdomino or Queendomino rules).
Dominoes Picturing Giants:
The 6 Dominoes with
letters have a picture
of a Giant on their
terrain side. When
you select one of these Dominoes, it means a Giant has
invaded your kingdom.
Once you add this Domino into your kingdom, you MUST
take a Giant Meeple and place it on any crown in your
kingdom (your choice).
If there are no crowns in your kingdom at the time you add a
domino with a Giant, you do not need to add a Giant Meeple
to your kingdom and the Domino has no effect.
At the end of the game, a crown covered by a Giant Meeple
does not score.
Dominoes Picturing Giant’s Footsteps:
Dominoes numbered 49 to 54 have
footsteps on their terrain side.
When you add one
of these Dominoes
to your kingdom, it
allows you to remove
one Giant Meeple from your kingdom and give it to any
other player. That player must place the Giant Meeple
on any crown in their kingdom (their choice). If there are
no Giant Meeples in your kingdom at the time you add a
Domino with footsteps, this Domino has no effect.

Challenge Tiles:
In Kingdomino, you can choose to play with the following
variations: “Middle Kingdom” (you get 10 bonus points if
your Castle is centered within your kingdom’s grid) and/
or “Harmony” (you get 5 bonus points if your kingdom
forms a complete grid and has no gaps). These two bonuses
are now included in the 17 Challenge Tiles that come with this
expansion. They only apply if their tile is selected for the game.
At the beginning of each game, you draw and flip over 2 of
the 17 Challenge Tiles. Each of these tiles shows a specific
way you score bonus points at the end of the game:
Local Business Bonus: You get 5 bonus
points for each square located around your
Castle (on its side and/or diagonally) that
matches the pictured terrain.
Four Corners Bonus: You get 5 bonus
points for each square located at one or
more of the 4 corners of your kingdom
that matches the pictured terrain.
Harmony Bonus: You get 5 bonus points if
your kingdom forms a complete grid (5x5 or
7x7) and has no gaps. This means you have
not discarded any Dominoes during the game.
Middle Kingdom Bonus: You get 10
bonus points if your Castle is centered
within your kingdom’s grid (your kingdom
may have gaps in the grid).
Lost Corner Bonus: You get 20 bonus
points if your Castle is located in one of the
4 corners of your kingdom.
Tic-Tac-Toe Bonus: You get 10 bonus
points whenever at least 3 squares that have
at least one crown each are aligned vertically,
horizontally, or diagonally. The squares can be different types
of terrain, as long as they each have at least one crown.
Poor Man’s Bonus: You get 10 bonus points for every
5-square territory that doesn’t have a crown
(applies only to territories made up of
wheat fields, forests, lakes, or grasslands).
