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?
