Kingdomino is out now, bringing tile-matching, kingdom-building strategy fun to mobile

• Kingdomino brings the tabletop classic to mobile
• Build up your own kingdom, no conquering or skullduggery required
• Engage in short 15-minute sessions, and enjoy multiple rule variations in multiplayer

Ever wanted to build your own kingdom? Not in the mood to conquer, and not got a few hours to drop on a city builder or grand strategy? Well, you’re in luck because Bruno Cathala and Blue Orange Games’ Kingdomino has just hit mobile, courtesy of Meeple Corp, on iOS and Android!.

But, backup, what’s Kingdomino? Well, it is a simple tile-matching puzzler where you compete in quick 15-minute sessions to place and chain together different pieces of the landscape sprawling out from your castle. No conquest, or intrigue, just good old-fashioned tabletop-style fun as you aim to outscore your opponents with a perfectly ordered kingdom.

If you’re getting shades of Dorfromantik here, then you’re not alone. But both Kingdomino and Dorfromantik come from a common tabletop world. However, with its mix of AI and human-controlled opponents, as well as friendly PvP or global matchmaking, Kingdomino has the edge in terms of multiplayer.

Yes milord

Indeed, whereas Dorfromantik is more focused on the cosy single-player experience, Kingdomino is unashamedly competitive. It has shades of Catan about it, and the visual flair offers a closer and more intimate view as your kingdom comes to life.

While 15 minutes may be a bit of time to put aside, Kingdomino is otherwise extremely customisable. Change the potential size of kingdoms, or use different variations, for example. And a suite of tutorials means that it’s easy to pick up and play out of the metaphorical box.

Speaking of tabletop, though, if you’re looking to expand your repertoire of available board games on mobile, why not get started with Kingdomino and go from there?
