Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Dominova” playtest version. Collect and chain dominoes together: the longer the chain, the higher you score. Amplify your score-breaking engine through various upgrades, while also navigating through a volatile board full of hazards and loot in this oddly satisfying domino deckbuilder.
With nearly three decades of console and PC battles etched into my gaming soul, Dominova emerges as a rare cocktail of cerebral deckbuilding and tactile puzzle-play. It drapes domino-line precision across a cosmic board bristling with hazards, loot, and reactive elemental nodes—fire, ice, darkness, electricity—so every chain feels alive. A sly roguelike edge drizzles over its minimalist aesthetic, while 150+ “Nova Cards” and eight distinct decks offer strategic variety and combo potential that hooked me from the first playtest. This is more than casual flick-and-match; it’s an indie strategy gem that asks you to balance audacious chains with risk, improvisation, and resource economy—all while its visual fireworks sync with your highs and lows. Dominova may seem simple at first glance, but its elegant systems hit with the depth of a classic tabletop strategy.
