Great for family game night! Oct 17, 2000
For all of your lego fans out there, this was a great game. We couldn't wait to play this game and it was everything we heard it would be. My 7 year old and my 5 year old both played it with my husband and I and it was a great way to spend a night with the kids.

Great Fun! Dec 21, 2000
We purchased this game for our three Legomaniacs, ages 6, 10, & 11, and it was not a disappointment! The object of the game is to race around the board collecting pieces to see who can build his/her creation first. "Take a piece from another player" spaces add to the competition and unexpected outcomes of the game. Game is great for younger than the 7 & up age rating given it. In addition, our 6 year old spent an afternoon just building & rebuilding the creations displayed on the game cards. Instructions for the game were clear, concise, and they were thoughtful enough to include a display listing of all the pieces that belong to the game. This is a great aid when trying to separate game board pieces from other Legos, and for being sure you have all the pieces before you start the game. What I would change: the game "marker" pieces are Lego people "hats." They are tiny, and hard to keep up with, and blend in with the colors & shapes on the board, making them very hard to see on the board during play. Keeping up with those tiny hats slowed the play of the game considerably. We improvised by substituting various Lego people from other sets. They were easier to keep up with, and added more character to the game.

 Legos in game format - What could be better!? Oct 18, 2001
By APE Gamer

I love games, and our 6-year old boy loves Legos. Needless to say, this is the product for us.Before the game starts, one player picks a color, and all players pick a card from that color. The card details what Lego vehicle to build, so each game players are building different vehicles. The vehicles are composed of colored and special pieces. You collect pieces by landing on various spaces on the board. Not brain surgery, but fun nonetheless. After playing the game several times, we've found that the best strategy is to collect special pieces every single time you land on a wild space. You have the option to collect colored pieces, but it seems this is a red herring, as special pieces are so much more difficult to acquire. Another thing that's kind of broken is that there are spaces that let you steal a piece from another player, but it's rare that another player has a piece you need. Overall, though, the game plays well, though, and we have real fun every time we play.

Nice game for young Lego fans Oct 15, 2002
This game would be the masculine equivalent of "Pretty Pretty Princess." Go around the board collecting pieces to build the Lego creation on your card. The game is well designed so that you don't have players competing for the same pieces, it is simply a race to acquire all of your pieces. However, for older players you could play so that the possibility is there. At our house we don't like the spaces which say "take a piece (or 2 pieces) from another player" since it just seems mean-spirited as you don't usually need that player's piece, it simply prevents him from completing his creation. When we play those spaces "wild" so you can pick a regular or special piece. As others have mentioned, the playing pieces are small and hard to see but this is easily remedied by using your own markers. My kids (4 and 7) love it and the 4-year old really enjoys just putting together the Lego models because there are so few pieces that it is very managable for him.

Much more than just a board game Nov 26, 2000
I purchased this for my son's 5th birthday. I'm delighted at the concept of the game: move around the board and collect pieces to create the figure on your card. We make it less competitive by playing until everyone has their pieces. While we finish collecting our pieces the "winner" puts together their figure. We've all enjoyed playing it over and over(mom, dad, sister-7, included). Both my children have spent many hours putting the figures on the 20 cards together with the pieces of the game, and it has inspired both children to get out the Legos and make imaginative creations. The only challenge is NOT getting the game pieces mixed with the regular Legos at our home. When we put away the game we count all the regular bricks and specialty pieces to assure they're all there. If we're missing some, we can pick a card set and place all the pieces on that set to determine which piece we're missing. Enjoy!
