CRITICAL RECEPTION

This digital rendition is built upon the critically acclaimed physical game designed by Bruno Cathala and published by Blue Orange, recognized for its engaging gameplay and strategic depth.

HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED

Players construct a 5x5 kingdom by connecting domino-like tiles that depict various terrains, such as forests, lakes, fields, and mountains. Each tile features two squares with terrain types that may match or differ; some squares contain crowns that multiply scoring potential.

1. The game begins with each player placing a single castle tile on their starting point.
2. In each round, players select tiles from a shared pool in turn order.
3. The sequence of selection impacts future turns; choosing a desirable tile means you'll pick later in the subsequent round.
4. Tiles must be placed such that at least one side connects to a matching terrain type.
5. If unable to place a tile legally, players must discard it.

Scoring involves calculating the area of connected terrain squares multiplied by the number of crowns in each region. The player with the highest total score emerges as the winner.

Notable aspects include quick gameplay sessions, straightforward rules combined with strategic complexity, availability of solo and multiplayer modes, and ongoing content updates enhancing replayability.
