Kingdomino: The Board Game review – “Perfectly captures the board game!”

by

  • The board game Kingdomino is now on mobile
  • Play against bots or other players
  • Unlock an unknown kingdom

In simpler terms, Kingdomino – the physical board game – holds a special spot in my heart. We brought it along during a vacation years ago, just before our kids became full-fledged teenagers, but when we still had some ‘tweens’ who were more difficult to engage for family time.

We found ourselves quite fond of Kingdomino, playing it both mornings and evenings multiple times. It became a permanent addition to our household, taking its place on our bookcase.

Although mobile adaptations may not capture the same cozy atmosphere of a family gathering around a table during holidays, I still find it delightful to observe how closely they resemble their board game counterparts. For instance, the game Kingdomino: The Board Game offers four distinct play modes for its original version: Single Player (versus computer opponents), Pass and Play, Online Public, and Online Private. These alternatives allow you to enjoy the game with your family without the need to carry the physical board.

Playing these sorts of modes, which I primarily played against bots (where you could choose their level), felt a lot like the physical board game.
The fragments can be used to unlock the fog-covered Lost Kingdom, which needs Magic Dominos, unlocking different rewards. These seem to be items that change the look of the game: texture packs for tiles and avatar pictures.

In addition to daily, weekly, and overall rankings that compare your progress globally, there are opportunities for achievement enthusiasts to earn rewards while they strive for advancement. This journey awards you with shards for the Lost Kingdom. I’ve managed to open up a few items such as Frog and Medieval, but I find myself uncertain about where these new acquisitions fit in.

If you’re fond of varying art styles in your collection, there’s a store offering unique items where you can switch up the entire aesthetic, returning to a classic theme or selecting castles with various themes and color schemes. These customizations provide an enjoyable experience and offer a fun way to spend money without significantly altering the gameplay itself.
