== Gameplay == thumb|Scoring a 141-point 5×5 King­domino grid with Middle Kingdom and Harmony rules (126 points without) In the game, players take turns choosing domino-like tiles and adding them to their kingdoms. Like traditional Dominoes, each tile has one or two different ends, which in this case also show different landscapes, and possibly a number of crowns on it. Choosing a tile with the most crowns gives a player last choice in the next round for choosing a tile, and vice versa - choosing the worst tile now ensures the first choice in the following round.
