Dominion
Build a civilization in twenty turns, advancing tech along a plausible path while a rival empire races you.
How to play
Take one action per turn — research a technology, grow a city, or found a new one — and a rival AI replies. Technologies must follow their prerequisites, so plan your path through the tree. After twenty turns the higher-scoring empire wins.
- Pick a researchable technology, then press Research to study it
- Grow your cities to raise food, production and science yields
- Banked production lets you found new cities on empty tiles
- Out-score the rival across cities and technologies by turn twenty
Controls
- Desktop: click a tech in the tree, click an empty map tile, and click the action buttons
- Phone & tablet: tap a tech, tap a tile to settle, then tap an action
Tips & strategy
- Grow early so your science output snowballs into faster research later
- Found cities on strong terrain tiles to boost the yields you most need
- You only get one action a turn — don't waste a move researching a tech you can't yet support
