This isn’t your typical roll-and-move board game. You’re actually building a 3D Lego palace as you play, competing for “Banana Points” to see who ends up victorious. The palace takes shape piece by piece as the game progresses, so you end up with something pretty impressive to look at by the end. That means you and the fam get to build something together that has some structure – no having to worry about wrangling the kids and telling them whose turn it is next, or consoling younger players who might not know where to start when it comes to building toys.
What makes it especially neat is how different each game can be. There are multiple board layouts to try, and since everyone’s building strategies are different, you never really play the same game twice. It’s complex enough to keep adults interested but straightforward enough that kids around 10 and up can jump right in. But it’s also great for adults too, so don’t think this is something you have to gatekeep for just the kids. As you’re already likely well aware, Lego is for everyone, and this board game is really no different.
You’ll love hanging out with the silly monkeys and getting pieces of the palace to put together as you make progress. And if you have other Lego pieces, you can even add them into the mix to make an even bigger assembly to have even more building fun together. It’s a good opportunity to bust out some of your other Lego kits you might not be spending much time with so you have a reason to build together. And anytime you can do that means it’s a good day.
At this price, it’s a pretty sweet deal for anyone who loves both Lego and board games. It hits that sweet spot between creative building and strategic gameplay, perfect for family game nights or when you want something a bit different from the usual board game routine.
