About Kumata

Kumata is a fast-paced domino game that breaks the classic rules. Instead of aligning dominoes, you stack them to build a vibrant 3D jungle canopy where only the visible tiles score points. Outsmart your opponents by covering their tiles while protecting your own! On your turn, play a domino from the top of your personal stack and place it on the board. Be careful: to be placed, each space on your domino must cover another space of the same value, regardless of clan: a 1 covers a 1, a 3 covers a 3, and so on. Empty spaces are wild: they can cover or be covered by any value. Once per game, you may play your totem to protect one of your dominoes and gain bonus points. The game ends as soon as a player can no longer play. The clan with the most visible points then wins the game. The game includes two modes : Duel mode for tense head-to-head battles (2 players) and Multiplayer mode for more chaos (3-4 players). To add variety to your games, you can also play two variants : Maze mode, which introduces new tactical challenges, and Alliance mode, for tense 2-vs-2 team play. —description from the publisher
