About Escalation, From the publisher:

Brace yourself for rising tensions in this next chapter of Eminent Domain! The time for unchecked expansion is over. Warmongers raise their flags over weaker empires while civilized planets take shelter behind peace treaties. Warfare becomes more important, and players can begin the game with different starting deck configurations.

Escalation is an expansion and cannot be played without the base game.

Escalation is the first big expansion for Eminent Domain. In Escalation, you get:

  • To play with up to 5 players.
  • Different functions for the different ship models from Eminent Domain.
  • New technologies and new ways to obtain technology.
  • Scenarios that breathe new life into Eminent Domain with variable starting positions.
  • Some direct conflict is introduced through 3 of the new tech cards.

About Kingdomino from the publisher:

Dominoes with a kingdom building twist. Each turn, connect a new domino to your existing kingdom, making sure at least one of its sides connects to a matching terrain type already in play. The game mechanics for obtaining the tiles is clever: the order of who picks first depends on which tile was previously chosen. Make sure to secure tiles with crowns- these royal treasures help to multiply the worth of your kingdom at the end of the game! The game ends when each player has completed a 5×5 grid, and then points are counted based on number of connecting tiles and crowns.
