\u201eDragomino<\/a>\u201c by Bruno Cathala, Marie Fort and Wilfried Fort, published by Pegasus Spiele \/ Blue Orange, is the Kinderspiel des Jahres 2021.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The dragons are loose\u2026 but only if you manage to match the domino-like tiles so that the same landscape types are next to one another. Then you\u2019ll receive a dragon\u2019s egg as a reward. But is there a baby dragon inside, scoring you a point? Or is it empty, meaning you get nothing? That\u2019s not always a bad thing, as the kind Mama Dragon is on hand to comfort unlucky players. In this standalone children\u2019s version of \u201cKingdomino\u201d, the winner of the \u201cSpiel des Jahres\u201d award in 2017, players need clever matching skills, a bit of luck and a good eye on the overall situation to collect as many dragons, and as many points, as possible. \u201cDragomino\u201d cleverly reduces the game to its essential ingredients while remaining faithful to the original, resulting in an exciting game that you\u2019ll want to bring to the table again and again.<\/p>\n

Jury statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDragomino\u201d is an impressive example of how you can turn a family game into a children\u2019s game. This sister game to \u201cKingdomino\u201d brings an interesting fantasy atmosphere to the table. Children will feel confident playing after just one game. The clever balance of luck and tactics means children will always want to dive into the world of the domino dragons.<\/p>\n
