Tips kingdomino

Kingdomino rewards people for focusing on a few sets of tiles with multiple crowns, as opposed to multiple sets of tiles with few crowns, so aim to stock up!

When you approach each turn, there are three primary things I think about:

• 1. Will this move score me points or benefit me down the line?

Taking a tile with a crown is usually more beneficial than taking a tile without a crown. If you don't have the option of getting a crown, can you find a tile color that matches your cluster so when a crown does appear, it'll be more beneficial to you?

• 2. What position will this move put me in for the next turn?

A big part of the ebb and flow of the game is choosing a tile for next round. If you choose the very top tile, you get to pick first next round. This can be a useful strategy if there are no crowns/no useful tiles on the board. Alternatively, when the last round comes, if you picked last, you may be stuck with a tile that you cannot play (and forfeit points potentially). For these reasons, it's important to be mindful of the risk/reward ratio when selecting a tile towards the bottom.

• 3. What can my opponents do if I take this tile?

This is something to think about especially if one or more players are focusing on a certain color. While taking a mine tile might not be the most optimal strategy for yourself, is it better to take one and stop an opponent from getting all six?
