The giants have come to Kingdomino! And they will crush all your precious buildings if you can't find a way to send them off to one of your opponents' kingdoms.
Kingdomino: Age of Giants is an expansion that requires either Kingdomino or Queendomino to play. This expansion adds new dominoes, new giant tokens, new challenge tiles, and additional components to allow a fifth player to join the game.
The new dominoes are shuffled in with those from the base game. If, on your turn, you add a domino with a giant on it to your kingdom, then you must also add a giant token, covering up any one crown of your choosing in your kingdom. If you add a tile with footsteps to your kingdom, then you get to remove a giant token from your kingdom and give it to an opponent, who then covers up a crown in their own kingdom. Covered crowns do not score points at the end of the game.
Traditional end-of-game bonuses are also eliminated. Instead, before the start of each game, two challenge tiles are drawn. These provide additional ways to earn points. For example, get 5 bonus points for each lake tile that surrounds your castle or get 20 bonus points if your castle is located in one of the four corners of your kingdom.

The Overlord gains more of both swords and sorcery with the Kushite Witch Hunters. Its four distinctive miniatures, each of which comes with its corresponding unit tile, allow you to push the heroes to their limits with powerful spells and precision strikes.
As a powerful spell caster, the sorcerous Shubba can loose your vengeance upon the heroes with any spells you give him, and his concentration ability ensures that he'll never find his spell casting hindered by the heroes' interference.
Shubba's allies, Shafiah and Ghayoor, are skilled warriors whose attacks of two orange dice are deadlier than the heroes might expect. This is because they both have the precision strike ability which effectively allows their attacks to ignore the first point of a hero's armor. Meanwhile, their loyalty to the sorcerer is unquestionable, as both are willing to sacrifice themselves in his defense, if such a sacrifice should ever prove necessary.
The deadliest of the expansion's three melee warriors, Afari pairs his solid defense and brutal attack with the ability to counterattack. Whenever he faces one of the heroes' melee attacks, Afari can immediately retaliate by attacking with a single red die. While this attack isn't as powerful as a swing from his wicked blade, it still benefits from Afari's precision strike ability, and he can perform this counterattack multiple times in a turn—if the heroes are foolish enough to test themselves against his skills!
Components
4 Plastic miniatures (Bodyguard (Shafiah), Afari the warlord, Bodyguard (Ghayoor), Shubba the sorceror)
4 Game tiles (non-lingual)
