Description
Lego Brick Like This is a fun team game where LEGO bricks meet good communication. Each team has an instructor, who sees the shape card, and a builder, who has to build the model from the instructor's words alone. All teams build at the same time, so there is plenty of laughter and rushing.
How to play Lego Brick Like This
The game has six rounds. Each team picks a shape card with a value from 5 to 8, which tells how many bricks the model needs and how many points it is worth. On the signal, the instructors look at their cards and start explaining. Nobody may point, and only the builder may touch the bricks.
The team that first calls out “DONE!” flips the 30-second sand timer, and the others have to finish before it runs out. Every team with a correct model scores points. After six rounds, the team with the most points wins.
Why you will like it
- Describing a shape without pointing is harder than it sounds, and that is exactly where the biggest fun lies.
- You swap roles after every round, so everyone gets to try both explaining and building.
- Challenge cards spice up the game: the builder builds with eyes closed or with one hand, or the instructor is not allowed to speak.
- For younger players and for two or three players, the rules include a variant against the clock and easier shapes.
