In various games, the goal is to gradually build cards on to 'foundation' piles, typically in ascending order with one foundation per suit. Typically, a game will also include a 'tableau' of piles used to organise the cards before they are played on to the foundations. In a few games, the goal is to discard pairs of cards according to a particular rule. To see specific details of the rules and aim of a given game, on-screen instructions are provided: simply press the '?' button to the right of the screen. In most games, you can also press the 'Hint' (light bulb) button to get a turn suggestion at any point during play. Redeals Some games allow 'redeals'. If available, the redeal icon in the top right of the screen will be available. Depending on the game, a redeal will typically of re-shuffling and re-dealing the 'stock' of cards, or dealing extra cards on to the tableau. Please consult the rules for the individual game in question for more details of the availability and function of redeals.

Grow your kingdom. Break theirs at the seams. Dominex is focused, turn-based territory strategy for one player against five computer rivals. Every connected kingdom keeps its own treasury and defense. One border capture can increase your income, join two kingdoms, split a rival's economy, or expose its capital. Take your time over every move. Undo and redo any move until you end your turn. Step away anytime and resume where you left off. Dominex plays offline, and four new maps are generated on your device every day—one free, all four with Premium. Capture land for income. Combine units to cross stronger borders. Defend the territory holding your kingdom together. Stronger units cost more to maintain; if a kingdom cannot pay, it goes bankrupt. Choose your opening with the Starting land slider. Begin with scattered kingdoms or fewer, larger ones, and preview every player's exact land before starting. Larger kingdoms also start with more gold. Read your rivals' economies as well as your own. Tap any rival kingdom to inspect its gold, income, and upkeep. Review bankruptcy warnings before ending a turn, undo a purchase that leaves you short, and see why units were lost to upkeep. Master every Core map at every level. Stats counts your wins toward 16 goals across four Core maps and four difficulty levels, and tracks your win rate, streaks, and fewest-round wins from Classic starts. Finish a daily map each day to build your streak, and look back at the final board of every new match. Share a daily or bonus map result to send a friend the same challenge, with its difficulty and Starting land. Friends can play shared challenges without Premium, on the web or in the iOS app. Every match stays single-player. Climb the optional daily leaderboard. Join with a nickname, conquer the free daily map on Casual or Legend in as few rounds as you can, and see where you rank on one shared board, Legend conquests first; every ranked win is checked by replaying it. Each free daily map has a par, the rounds the computer took to win it in your place, so you know what to beat. When your last turn can take every hex left, Win now finishes the conquest for you and keeps the most gold. Once a day's leaderboard closes, watch its best conquests. Watch your own last 20 matches again move by move, and share a replay link anyone can open in a browser. Features • One player against five computer rivals • Casual, Normal, Veteran, and Legend difficulty—all free • Starting land choices with a live opening preview • Rival finances and clear bankruptcy warnings • Daily result sharing with playable challenge links • Optional daily leaderboard of Casual and Legend conquests, with par • Replays of your last 20 matches, shareable by link • Stats with streaks, best wins, and final boards • Four hand-crafted Core maps • Four on-device daily maps, one free each day • Automatic saving and one-tap resume • Offline play with no account and no ads • One-time tips and an in-match rules reference • Opponent turns at your choice of pace, with every capture outlined • Soft sound and quiet match music, with one switch • Map library with 105 classic Slay Islands maps, free • High-distinction board colors and cues beyond color • Touch-first controls and haptics for iPhone and iPad Start with four Core maps, one new daily map, 105 hand-picked classic Slay Islands maps, and every difficulty level free. Dominex Premium is one lifetime purchase, not a subscription. It opens all four daily maps every day and a new picture-shaped bonus map each week, with its own weeklong leaderboard, and lets you play the daily maps from any earlier day. Your results and daily history stay visible without Premium. Try the map editor for free: draw a 35 × 24 battlefield from scratch or edit a copy of a Core or classic map. Premium lets you save and play your own maps. Your next kingdom is ready.
