Dragomino
Kingdomino for five-year-olds, with dragon eggs that might hatch or might be empty.
What it is
Players are dragon riders who pick tiles, match landscapes and take a dragon egg for each match. Some eggs hide a baby dragon worth a point. An empty shell earns the mother dragon token, which means first move next turn and a bonus point at the end. It suits parents who want a real first game for a five-year-old.
What we love
- Won the 2021 Kinderspiel des Jahres, the German children's game of the year.
- An empty egg still gives you something, which softens bad luck for small players.
- It is built on Kingdomino, so the step up later is a short one.
Honest trade-offs
- Egg draws are pure luck, so older kids may feel the result is out of their hands.
- Adults get few real choices here. This one belongs to the kids.
