Take on the role of jungle clans vying for dominance in the heights of Kumata!

Cover your opponents’ dominoes, protect your own, and build a colorful 3D canopy where every level counts. A simple, clever, and highly interactive domino game.

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.
