I just don’t see a need to have both in my collection and as a fan of the original, Kingdomino easily won this battle.

If you’re looking for a light and fun dice game for your family, definitely put Kingdomino Duel on that list.

Of course, you’ll want to grab a die that will help you score well in your kingdom, but you’ll also want to keep an eye on which dice your opponent needs. Each time you add a coat of arms without a cross you can fill in a square in your spell book on the reverse of the kingdom map. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.STRATEGY TABLETOP BOARD GAME: Kingdomino Duel was inspired by one of the best-selling city or territory building board games, Spiel des Jahres winner Kingdomino. For those looking for a filler game that offers the opportunity to get you thinking, then Kingdomino Duel is certainly worth consideration. Each domain is worth the number of coat of arms it contains multiplied by the number of crosses present in that domain.

Connect at least one of the symbols on the domino to a matching coat of arms already in the kingdom. You will often need to play as optimally as you can, based on the now, as opposed to any forward planning. The game ends when either at least one player has filled in all the spaces in their kingdom or neither player is able to record the dice result on their turn.It does, however, keep things fair and interesting by preventing the start player from grabbing all the “best” dice. With the dice, it’s possible that you’ve already had the two best rolls that you’re going to have for the entire game. If you just leave them to their own devices they may end up in a place that’s much farther ahead than you. Kingdomino’s base game feels like it allows for more interesting choices because you’re guaranteed that those choices eventually exist (assuming you’re playing with all the tiles; if not, you’re at least guaranteed that some interesting choices exist). They can allow you to use dice that you ordinarily could not place, and to squeeze out extra scoring opportunities.

Everything is done very professionally with this company and always lets you know every step of the process. Some of the more difficult ones to get will allow you a big score bonus which can change the tide of the game. Speaking of abilities, each player can (once per game) also add one cross to one of the two dice chosen for their turn, even if that die is a question mark. These bonuses allow you to do things like split your two dice when placing them, or add a cross to any coat-of-arms, or not follow orthodox connection rules that can make a big difference in the game.

Sure the game isn’t deep, but as a filler game or a light family game, Kingdomino: Duel fills its niche quite well. Don’t worry too much about disputes; the local wizard has agreed to serve as an intermediary, and should you impress him, he may give you a bit of a boon with some of his magic.

Plus, dice-denial doesn’t really work here because taking something you don’t really need is too costly to bother. The game ends when either: At least one player fills in the last remaining empty spot on his/her map, or when neither player can place his/her domino this turn. If there are any crosses next to the symbols on your dice, add them to your map by crossing off the same number of circles next to the matching icon on your sheet.Yeah, you can lose arms and legs, there are spinning floor blades and pit traps, lootable containers on the board. I mean, you should expect this in a dice game, but there is almost nothing you can do to mitigate the luck. While it lacks the original character of Kingdomino, the spirit carries over into a very fun two player game that offers players a nice amount of strategy for those looking to spice up their Kingdomino experience.
