Counting points in Kingdomino, property by property
At the end, you type each player's total for every terrain, then tick the two optional bonuses. Teamzy adds it up and names the winner. A tie? The largest property, then the crowns, each get their own line.
Kingdomino in 30 seconds
Kingdomino is a domino game published by Blue Orange, where 2 to 4 players each build a 5x5 kingdom around their castle. On your turn, you place the domino you picked, connected to your castle or to a matching terrain, then you pick a new one. Once all the dominoes are placed, each property, a group of connected squares of the same terrain, scores its number of squares times its crowns. Two optional bonuses can be added, and the highest total wins.
What each property is worth
A property is a group of squares of the same terrain connected horizontally or vertically. It scores its number of squares times the number of crowns it contains: 4 squares and 2 crowns are worth 8 points. A property without a crown scores nothing. One terrain can form several properties, each counted on its own, then added up. The two bonuses are optional: the Middle Kingdom gives 10 points if your castle is in the center of your kingdom, even if your kingdom is incomplete, and Harmony gives 5 points if your kingdom is complete, with no domino discarded. On a tie, the player with the largest property wins, then the one with the most crowns; if it is still a tie, the victory is shared.
The points, property by property
| What counts | Points |
|---|---|
| Property | squares × crowns |
| Property with no crown | 0 |
| Castle in the center (optional) | 10 |
| Complete kingdom (optional) | 5 |
| End of the match | Pile empty: one last turn of placing |
| Tie | largest property, then crowns |
One kingdom, property by property
Lucas's complete kingdom: 24 terrain squares, placed as 12 dominoes around the castle. Each line is a property, with its squares and the crowns it contains. The two wheat properties are counted separately. The 3-square lake has no crown: it scores nothing.
| Property | Squares | Crowns | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat fields | 4 | 2 | 8 |
| Wheat fields | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| Forests | 5 | 3 | 15 |
| Lakes | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Meadows | 4 | 1 | 4 |
| Swamps | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| Mines | 3 | 2 | 6 |
| Total of the properties | 24 | 10 | 38 |
The sheet of the example
The match told below, entered in Teamzy at the end: the total of each terrain, the two bonuses and, at the bottom, the tiebreaker lines. The "Before the bonuses" line is added here for comparison: the app does not have it. Without the bonuses, Hugo leads with 46 points and Lucas is last with 38. The two bonuses change everything: they bring Lucas 15 points.
| Lucas | Emma | Hugo | Léa | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat fields | 10 | 10 | 18 | 10 |
| Forests | 15 | 3 | 10 | 12 |
| Lakes | 0 | 8 | 6 | 5 |
| Meadows | 4 | 10 | 8 | 4 |
| Swamps | 3 | 6 | 2 | 6 |
| Mines | 6 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| Before the bonuses | 38 | 39 | 46 | 40 |
| Middle Kingdom | 10 | 10 | 0 | 0 |
| Harmony | 5 | 0 | 0 | 5 |
| Total | 53 | 49 | 46 | 45 |
| Tiebreaker | ||||
| Largest property | 5 | 5 | 6 | 5 |
| Crowns | 10 | 10 | 11 | 10 |
Lucas wins with 53 points, ahead of Emma (49), Hugo (46) and Léa (45).
A match of four, turned around by the bonuses
Lucas, Emma, Hugo and Léa have just placed their last dominoes. Emma and Hugo each discarded a domino that could not be placed: their kingdom has only 22 squares. Lucas's and Léa's are complete, with 24 squares.
- 1Lucas counts his kingdom property by property: 8 and 2 for his two wheat properties, 15 for his forest, 0 for his lake without a crown, 4 for his meadows, 3 for his swamps and 6 for his mines, which makes 38 points.
- 2The others do the same. Emma finds 39 points, Léa 40 and Hugo 46: his wheat property of 6 squares and 3 crowns is worth 18 on its own. Hugo looks like the winner.
- 3Time for the bonuses. Hugo gets none: his kingdom is incomplete, and his castle is not in the center. Léa has a complete kingdom: 5 points of Harmony, which makes 45. Emma, on the other hand, has an incomplete kingdom but her castle is in the center: 10 points of Middle Kingdom, which makes 49.
- 4Lucas has both: 38 + 10 + 5 = 53.
Lucas wins with 53 points, ahead of Emma (49), Hugo (46) and Léa (45). Last before the bonuses, he moves ahead thanks to the 15 points of his two bonuses.
In Teamzy, on each terrain line you type the total of that terrain's properties: 10 on Wheat fields for Lucas (8 and 2), then 15, 0, 4, 3 and 6. Then you tick Middle Kingdom and Harmony for those entitled to them: Lucas ticks both. Below the total, on Largest property and Crowns, you type 5 and 10 for Lucas: these two lines are not added to the points and only count on a tie. Teamzy adds it all up, names Lucas and keeps the match in the history.
The questions that come up at the table
The table and the example above show a complete kingdom, property by property. In Teamzy, you type the total of each terrain and tick the bonuses: the app does the total.
The Kingdomino rules at Blue Orange (PDF)No: whatever its size, it is worth 0 points. In the example, Lucas's 3-square lake brings him nothing. It can still decide a tie, because the largest property counts with or without crowns.
Each on its own: its squares times its own crowns, then add them up. Lucas has two wheat properties, 4 squares with 2 crowns (8) and 2 squares with 1 crown (2), which makes 10. Do not multiply all the squares of the terrain by all its crowns: 6 squares times 3 crowns would make 18. In Teamzy, type 10 on the Wheat fields line.
They are two optional rules: decide with your table before you start whether you play with them. In Teamzy, tick each bonus for those entitled to it, or tick nothing if you play without.
Yes. If a domino could not be placed anywhere, it is discarded and scores nothing. Your kingdom stays incomplete and is counted property by property like the others, without Harmony.
The player with the largest property, in squares, crowns or not. If it is still a tie, the player with the most crowns. If it is still a tie, the victory is shared. In Teamzy, type the size of everyone's largest property on the Largest property line, and their crowns on the Crowns line, below the total. If everything is equal, the app shows a tie for the lead.
With two players, the rulebook proposes the Mighty Duel: a 7x7 kingdom, all 48 dominoes and two kings each. The rules are the same with a few exceptions, which the rulebook does not detail. For the scoring and the bonuses, check the rules in your box. Teamzy does not check the size of the kingdom: the sheet stays the same, for 2 to 4 players.
Queendomino and Kingdomino Origins are separate games with their own scoring, and expansions add their own rules: Teamzy counts Kingdomino. To add points, open the game's sheet before the match, tap "Add a category", name it and choose the "Typed" kind. At the end, type everyone's points on that line.
