Get the best score with the visible points of your clan at the end of the game.

Take control of Kumata, one domino at a time! 🌿

For 3-4 players

Choose your clan from Monkeys, Snakes, Toucans, and Tigers, retrieve your totem, and place your dominoes in two equal piles in front of you. Then randomly place the 9 board tiles in a 3x3 square in the center of the table.

Each turn, play one of the visible dominoes from your reserve either directly onto the board or onto other dominoes already in play.

Important: To place a domino, it must cover tiles of the same value, regardless of the clan (only the values ​​matter). A 1 goes on a 1, a 3 on a 3, and so on. An empty tile can either cover or be covered by another domino.

Once per game, you can also place your totem on the domino you just played to protect it. Its points will be secured and no one will be able to cover it again until the end.

The game ends as soon as a player has no more dominoes in reserve on their turn OR when they can no longer play any of their reserve dominoes, nor create a new pile. The scoring then proceeds.

Each player scores:

  • the visible points of his clan on the board tiles and his dominoes in play,
  • the visible points of its reserve dominoes (if any),
  • the bonus points from his totem

🥇 The player with the most points wins the game!

For 2 players: Simply turn over all the equipment

Choose your clan: Hippos or Crocodiles . Retrieve your 2 totems and place your 15 dominoes in three equal piles in front of you. Then randomly place the 9 board tiles in a 3x3 square in the center of the table.

The rules are the same as for 3-4 players, except that each player has 2 totems from their clan.
