About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your mammoth skin ready because we're heading back in time! Kingdomino Origins takes the addictive formula of the original Kingdomino and transports it to the prehistoric era, introducing new twists that add an extra layer of strategy. The core remains the same: you build your territory using domino-like tiles, but now fire is the name of the game. Having fire in your regions is essential for scoring higher, and you can achieve this either through the terrain itself or by strategically placing volcano tiles.

What makes the game truly interesting are the three game modes, allowing the experience to evolve as players become more skilled. In the first mode, you deal with fire and volcanoes. In the second, wooden resources enter the fray, adding another layer of management. And in the third mode, things get serious with the introduction of caveman tokens.

These cavemen aren't just for show; they provide unique ways to score based on their specific positioning on your map. Additionally, collecting resources and holding the majority of a resource type grants extra points, forcing you to keep an eye not only on your own terrain but also on what your opponents are building. It's the kind of game that seems simple at first glance but keeps you questioning: 'Do I take this tile now, or do I wait for that better one, even if it pushes me to the end of the drafting queue?'. It's a fast-paced spatial puzzle, competitive and with components that look great on the table.
