LEGO Creator: The Race to Build It Board Game

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.

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.

I was shopping for something fun for my school-aged summer childcare boys to do for the remaining 3 weeks of summer break when I discovered the existence of the Lego Creator Board game. It arrived today, much to the pleasure of 2 little boys.We played the game all afternoon while the preschoolers took naps.It was the first peaceful afternoon we've had.I wish I'd have discovered this game sooner!I may actually have a few nerves left!

I do have 2 suggestions for the game.One, I was disappointed that the game pieces where baseball caps.We immediately ran to our lego box and found four grumpy medieval men and replaced their helmets with the caps.Secondly, it would be a nice addition to find a way for the board to have ridges to keep the "special blocks" separate from the regular pieces.I used a chip/dip bowl with the tiny bowl in the center.

A friend bought this game for my 4 year old son's birthday. I thought that she was crazy but the first time we tried it my son loved it. He had no trouble figuring out the directions for playing the game or assembling the pieces. His favorite space is "take a block from another player". About the only change I'd make is to the playing pieces. They are tiny hats. Otherwise it's a great game. We play it several times a day!
