How it plays
One border can change three kingdoms
Territory is local: connected land shares money and protection. A single capture can grow your income, join two of your kingdoms, or split a rival's economy apart.
Cut a rival apart
Break the narrow link between enemy territories and the pieces no longer share one treasury or one defensive network.
Buy what can survive
Stronger units cross tougher borders, but every kingdom pays its own upkeep. Buy one upgrade too many and next round's bill can undo the advance.
Commit when ready
Move, inspect, undo, and reconsider during your turn. End it when the position is sound, then adapt as five computer rivals answer.
Win by eliminating every rival or controlling all land — and think it through first: undo and redo are yours until you end the turn.
A real move from Stonefold, Round 5
A border is an economic decision
This green kingdom spends 10 gold to recruit directly onto one legal blue border hex. The new unit claims the link, changes the kingdom's upkeep, and cuts a 13-hex rival territory into two disconnected pieces.

Questions
Frequently asked
What can I play for free?
All four hand-crafted Core maps, one of the four new daily maps, four difficulty levels, saving, undo and redo, plus a suggested first match on Stonefold. You do not need an account, a card, or a subscription.
Do I need experience with strategy games?
No. Start with the suggested Stonefold match on Casual, then move up when you want a different challenge. The in-game rules reference and visual How to Play guide explain the pieces, economy, and turns.
Where can I play Dominex?
Play in a modern browser on your phone, tablet, or computer. You can also install the web app to open it in its own window. After one online visit, core maps, daily maps, and saved matches work offline. A native app is also available for iPhone and iPad; Premium purchases are available only there.
Is Dominex multiplayer?
No — Dominex is single-player by design. You face five AI rivals across four difficulty levels, from Casual to Legend, so every map is a full six-faction contest with no matchmaking and no waiting for another turn.
Can I stop in the middle of a match?
Yes. Dominex saves the current match on your device and resumes it when you return. There are no turn timers, so you can leave after a move or think as long as you like.
Can I play offline?
Yes. The iPhone and iPad app plays offline. In a browser, open the game once online so it can cache the core game; installation is optional. Core maps, daily maps, and saved matches then work offline. The editor, Record, and help screens must each be opened online once before they work offline.
What happens if I mis-tap?
Undo and redo are available throughout your turn, so you can recover a slip or explore a different line before committing. Once you end the turn, the move stands.
How much does Premium cost?
Premium is a single lifetime purchase — no subscription. The current price is shown in the iOS app, where the purchase is completed.
Can I make my own maps?
You can try the built-in editor in your browser and draw a 35 × 24 battlefield from scratch or start from a Core or classic bundled map, with validation, undo, and redo as you work. Premium in the iPhone and iPad app lets you save the map and play it against the same five rivals.
