Description
The big moment has arrived. You have been named "dragon trainer", and you have the chance to meet them on a mysterious island. But you are not the only trainer sent to these lands. Who among you will discover the most baby dragons?
Dragomino features gameplay similar to Kingdomino, but with gameplay suitable for younger players. At the start of a round, you reveal four domino tiles, with each domino featuring two types of landscapes. Starting with whoever has the mommy dragon figure, players draft a tile and add it to their landscape. If the newly placed tile matches the landscape of one or more adjacent tiles, then you draw an egg tile for that type of landscape and place it face up where those tiles meet. Some eggs feature a baby dragon, which is worth 1 point; others feature an empty shell, which allows you to take the mommy dragon, giving you first pick next round.
After seven rounds, the game ends, and the player who holds the mommy dragon scores 1 additional point.

Quotes (from this video)
- Turns out I'm not inflammable. I mean infallible.
- We now know Funko is planning to bring us 40 games and I said that I thought there would be family games with big IPs attached I'm imagining a roster of family weight games with a host of intellectual properties attached to them.
- The Goonies: Never Say Die being designed by Prospero Hall the design team behind Villainous, FunkoVerse, Pan Am, Top Gun, Wonder Woman, talk about Fast and Furious which they also designed.
- Maximum Apocalypse Wasted Worlds is the anticipated continuation of the cooperative roguelike game series.
- It's that most wonderful time of the year where we all gather around our festive monitors and rekindle our love for board games by saying things like what on earth is that game.
- Fantasy Realms is really a four year old game I suppose it's new release in German makes it eligible for a nomination but it does strike me as an odd choice as it's an older game but it's fun just maybe kind of weird to see.
- It's not controversial but it's interesting and I like talking about board games give me a break.
- The Goonies: Never Say Die is a one versus all asymmetrical game full of skill checks and minis and traps and treasure and puzzles and challenges as you try as a group to find hidden riches before the Goondox master which definitely has the acronym GM can undo your plans by sending the outlaw Fratelli family or even One-Eyed Willie himself after you.
- The Adventures of Robin Hood is a storybook driven game as you live out ever evolving daring deeds.
- MicroMacro which started its promotion last year as a series of cryptic social media posts and postcards as you solve 16 cases that span an intricate massive map.
- Zombie teens evolution is the sequel to Zombie Kids Evolution where you'll be working to collect ingredients to find the zombie antidote before time runs out.
- CGE has begun their launch of the solo campaign for the Lost Runes of Arnak with a free four chapter solo campaign named the Search for Professor Cuttle.
- In the campaign the famous Professor Cuttle's expedition has vanished somewhere in the uncharted waters of the Pacific Ocean while searching for a mysterious island nobody believed existed which it seems the professor may have found but no one knows what happened to him or his expedition.
- What an incredible burden I don't know how I do it.
- Brass Birmingham digital has been more formally announced following last year's tease about the possibility it's allegedly most likely going to be making its way onto Steam and other platforms sometime in the very near future.
- Dominion is getting an app now you might say to yourself Dominion already has an app is two of them and a website you can play it on but this is different and new Temple Gates Games are fitting the new app with a whole bunch of artificial intelligence which is of course deliciously ominous because it's smart enough to be able to play even win with cards that have yet to be designed essentially the AI doesn't learn how the cards work it instead learns how each element of each card works meaning that those elements when they're used on new cards you'll already know how to use them against you as you play against it.
- Looks like an Elder Scrolls board game is on the horizon.
- There Will Be Ghosts a new game by Isaac Vega of Dead of Winter fame.
- It's slated as actually being a scary board game which is a concept I couldn't be more excited about.
- The new game is being specifically designed to be a horror game that will legitimately try to frighten its players.
- We'll be there the whole darn team to play games hold events and generally support the convention in any way we can so it's an exciting venture and we really think you'll enjoy the con.

Quotes (from this video)
- it's a smaller version ... it's just colors ... you just draw from a random deck in this game and as an experienced board gamer I like to have those options face up especially since there's no text to read on those cards it's just colors
- there are no points and I think this is really clever they got rid of all the points you're scoring in a Tickets to Ride
- it's a race to complete as many tickets as possible. Tickets that say things like 'okay you need to get from Denver over to Atlanta'
- it's King Domino with dragon eggs that you get to hatch
- the ghost player is trying to communicate which of these five cards is the correct card for us to pick and if we get it right we we proceed further in the game
- the twist is ... instead of using visuals it uses sound. This is a tambourine that comes in the game of Mysterium Kids, and the ghost has to communicate using this tambourine
- not only that but because this is such a fun component you wouldn't want to play a full game of mysterium kids with only one player as the ghost. Instead this passes around the table; players take turns being the ghost
- I think that's a really clever way to onboard someone onto a game not even just a kid but anyone onto a game to layer these pieces one step at a time
- storytime chess had helped her teach my nephew how to play chess it's a story book where you open the story book and you play a very simple version of Chess using only one type of piece as the game explains how that piece works and then it adds another piece
- it adds another piece and so it kind of lay layers on the rules for chess until you know fully how to play
- we published my little side ... a fan of the game he wanted to play it with his daughter and so he created a My Little Pony themed version of the game
- My Little Pony wasn't interested in licensing their brand for the game and so we made it my little side
- it's a much simplified version of scthe (sic) where you still have actions inside you're running around you're picking up resources off the map
