About the game
The giants have come to Kingdomino! And they will crush all your precious buildings if you can't find a way to send them off to one of your opponents' kingdoms. Kingdomino: Age of Giants is an expansion that requires either Kingdomino or Queendomino to play. This expansion adds new dominoes, new giant tokens, new challenge tiles, and additional components to allow a fifth player to join the game. The new dominoes are shuffled in with those from the base game. If, on your turn, you add a domino with a giant on it to your kingdom, then you must also add a giant token, covering up any one crown of your choosing in your kingdom. If you add a tile with footsteps to your kingdom, then you get to remove a giant token from your kingdom and give it to an opponent, who then covers up a crown in their own kingdom. Covered crowns do not score points at the end of the game. Traditional end-of-game bonuses are also eliminated. Instead, before the start of each game, two challenge tiles are drawn. These provide additional ways to earn points. For example, get 5 bonus points for each lake tile that surrounds your castle or get 20 bonus points if your castle is located in one of the four corners of your kingdom.

The listed playing time for Kingdomino: Age of Giants is 15–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Kingdomino: Age of Giants for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Kingdomino: Age of Giants has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
