Building Board Games Together: The LEGO Group and Asmodee

The LEGO Group and Asmodee have announced that they have entered a multi-year partnership, joining forces to create and distribute new shared play experiences. The partnership will create an exciting range of high-quality LEGO board games for all types of players, inventing new ways for families and brick fans around the world to play within the LEGO universe.

Introducing Dotted Games: Brand New Studio Dedicated to the Partnership
Dotted Games will nurture and develop all games within the LEGO Group and Asmodee’s partnership. With an experienced team at the helm, its mission is to bring the best LEGO board games to fans and families, while unlocking fresh avenues of play thanks to the versatility of LEGO bricks. The Dotted Games team, based in Denmark, brings decades of invaluable experience in the board gaming industry, boasting a remarkable collection of awards between them.

Monkey Palace: An Exciting First Game to Kick Off the Partnership
Originally announced earlier this year, Monkey Palace is a wonderful demonstration of how integrating LEGO bricks into board games can provide remarkable play value. The game was created by game designers David Gordon and Tin Aung Myaing and provides family fun for all ages. It is a jungle-themed game of light strategy tailored for two to four players, incorporating both collaborative and competitive elements.

In this first game, participants are invited to compete against each other while helping the monkey rebuild the Monkey Palace. Players must cleverly build their way upwards, creating longer and taller staircases to get bricks and banana points in this innovative and strategic building board game. With no single route to victory, players will always want to play again!

Monkey Palace will be available to buy globally following its worldwide debut at Essen Spiel happening October 3, 2024.

Brick Like This!: A LEGO Party Game From Dotted Games Already in the Works
On the back of Monkey Palace, Dotted Games has been developing Brick Like This!, a family party game where the key words are teamwork, communication and building with LEGO bricks. The game is for 2-8 players for ages 7+ with simple rules for everyone to join in.
