Hey everyone! We've got a big one to share - our first major content drop and our first-ever community event, Mushroom Mania, just went live on mobile.
After lots of requests from the community, we've added two brand-new ways to play between matches: a monthly community event that the whole player base tackles together, and daily challenges that keep the rotation feeling fresh. Here's everything you need to know.
What is Mushroom Mania?
Invasive fungi are sprouting up across the realm and the entire Kingdomino community has to band together to clear them out. The mechanic is simple: every Forest tile you place earns one mushroom, and every mushroom counts toward a shared community goal.
- Place Forest tiles in any match - online, against AI, or in solo modes - to contribute.
- Each Forest square = 1 mushroom toward the global total.
- The whole community needs to collect 60,000 mushrooms to complete the event.
- Hit the goal and every player who contributed earns exclusive rewards.
Daily Challenges (Also New!)
Alongside the community event, we've rolled out a fresh batch of daily challenges that refresh every 24 hours. Completing them gives you Shards, which feed directly into your Lost Kingdom progression - and Shards have a second purpose during community events.
- New daily challenges drop every day - quick, focused goals you can knock out in a session or two.
- Completing them awards Shards toward your Lost Kingdom rebuild.
- Spend leftover Shards to boost your contribution to the community total, or to refresh your daily challenges if today's selection isn't to your taste.
Leaderboards for Top Contributors
If you're the competitive type, the event leaderboard tracks the players pulling the most weight. There's no cost to participating - the more you play, the higher you climb - but for those of you who like to see your name at the top, we've made sure you can.
Why Monthly Events?
Our goal with Mushroom Mania - and the events that will follow it - is to keep the game feeling alive between matches. Each month will introduce a different focus, a different theme, and different challenges, while the core Kingdomino loop you already know stays untouched. We want a reason to log in tomorrow, even if you've already mastered the basics.
It's also worth being upfront: we haven't really seen this kind of evergreen, community-wide event system in a digital board game before. We're testing it on mobile first to see how it feels, and once it's settled in we'll be rolling it out to Steam too. So consider this an open beta of sorts - your feedback genuinely shapes where this goes next.
Coming to Steam Soon
Steam Rulers - we hear you, and Mushroom Mania is on its way to you next. We'll share an exact date once we've finished battle-testing it on mobile. In the meantime, if you're playing on Steam, your progress, friends, and Lost Kingdom will all carry across thanks to cross-platform account linking - so any contribution you make on mobile right now still counts.
Now grab your axe, plant some forests, and let's clear those mushrooms together. See you in the kingdom.
