It was published in France by Nathan [fr] as Boomerang, in Britain by Waddingtons as Chameleon, in Italy by Editrice Giochi [it] as Kiss, and in Sweden by Alga as 2001: the space age game, although it is unknown who designed it.
[1][citation needed] In 1983, the game was published in North America by Parkers Brothers, with the name Domain and the slogan “Where the Challenge is...”.
[2] Domain is played on a 9x9 game board using 26 polymino tiles, which are each one of eight different shapes labelled from 2 to 5 corresponding to its number of squares.
In Domain, the pieces are white on one side and blue on the other, although the two colours differ depending on the edition.
[5][6] Jeux & Stratégie [fr] reviewed Boomerang in Issue #16, praising it for its simple but effective design reminiscent of Reversi and Nim.
