LEGO Creationary Games

Product Information

for those of us just getting started on a board game, we're used to having the rules laid out for us! There was some in-depth negotiation needed to convince him that the next creation would be even better and he might like to play with that instead! This is something you only find in LEGO Games and maybe among a few enlightened physical educators – the idea that people might actually choose to do something more challenging, not because they get more points for it, but simply because it is more fun.

The known theme allows other players to start guessing immediately, which turns out to be a big part of the fun.

The recommended age for the LEGO Creationary Game is 7 plus, but we managed to turn it into a family game when we changed the rules.

This game is very slow and boring and does not have enough pieces to make it possible to differentiate between builds. We gave up on rolling the dice and decided to just pick whatever we wanted to build off of the card. By having limited pieces to choose from, it requires the kids to think broadly and use their imagination to work with what they have.Using a unique dice, players take it in turn to roll the dice that selects one of the four different building types – vehicles, nature, things or buildings. I only recommend products which I use and love, or that I think will be quality products that will be useful to my readers.

There isn't much that comes with the game, a Lego dice, Legos to build with and about 96 cards with pictures of things to build. And it was a great excuse for some quiet family time sitting down around the table together, in-between a weekend that was otherwise full of birthday parties and sugar highs. Don't stress if your comment doesn't appear immediately - sometimes I have to moderate comments thanks to spam visitors, but the comments from real readers will always get published. Anything to do with LEGOs tends to be well received in our house, so this was a thoughtful holiday gift.As you can imagine, this makes for a very boring game waiting for your turn watching a couple of people build for 10-15 minutes, then you build for 30 seconds, then they take their turns again.

We modified the rules to allow the preschooler to play – he could make anything he wanted, where as we had to build from the prompt on our cards. My nephew took about 20 minutes to try to build some picture that I still don't know what it was suppose to be of - boring game, too bad! This game is a very creative game to play with building legos, rather than just following the directions of putting together a themed Lego set.We received this game on Friday to review, which turned out to be perfect timing on what has been one of the wildest, wettest weekends in Wellington in a long while.
