There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So I finally called support. I was on hold FOR-EVER. Probably like, 30 seconds. That's ridiculous enough, but when the tech finally picks up, I'm connected to some Scandinavian call center out in who-knows-where. First thing's first, I ask the guy about his accent. He says it's *Danish*. Dude can't even put down his breakfast pastry to answer a support call?! Someone's DEFINITELY getting an anonymous flaming blog comment post about *that.* So I tell him about the problems I'm having. He keeps interrupting, clearly trying to follow some canned support script for beginners. DUDE, I'm TECHNICAL, OKAY? Skip your basic troubleshooting and let me tell you what I think the problem is!
Anyway, so he says it won't run on ANY console or computer system. I say EXACTLY, that's why I'm calling. It won't run. He says right. I say so what do I do now? I already spent like, two hours trying to figure out where to install the batteries, so I know it's not THAT kind of game. He says it doesn't take batteries. I say yeah, I just said that, so I must be missing the power adapter, and I ask if he can overnight one to me. He says there's no adapter, I say right, there's no power adapter. Then silence. Hello? I ask...You still there? Yes, he says. I say great, so can you send me a power adapter. He says "sir, there's no power adapter for this game." I say yeah, we've established that, you gonna send me a new one? He says there's not one to send. I say okay, how long's the backorder for replacement parts? He says no, they'll never get one in stock, because they don't exist.
Don't exist?!? Place sounds more like "SCAMdinavia" if you ask me!
I tell him as much, and ask to speak to his supervisor. After two more escalations and another 137 minutes of this whole "who's on first" routine and the next guy asks if I even read the manual! Again...I'm TECHNICAL. We don't NEED manuals!
So anyway, I guess I'll keep an eye on their support site, see if they release new firmware or something. Meantime, we're playing with all the pieces. It's actually kind of fun...They've got these little picture cards in there (probably for some sort of TCG promotional tie-in) and my kid got the idea of trying to use the pieces to make little abstract versions of the pictures on the cards, while others try to guess at what the builder is making. Sometimes it's pretty easy, like a little house or a sailboat. Other times, it's a bit tricky, like a Taj Mahal. (Here's a little recommendation if you try that one: don't build to full scale. Five or six hours in, and you'll be out of space in your living room.)
But either way, it's quite a bit of fun for the whole family...
...Unless one of your family members would choke on small parts. Or if Uncle Carl doesn't have enough manual dexterity to manipulate LEGO blocks. I mean, he'd probably still have a *little* fun, but only the guessing part, not the building part. Unless he's also recently lost his vision because he was looking at the sun during that eclipse even though the TV news guy said not to look directly at the sun or you could permanently damage your vision...then I suppose the guessing part would be pretty difficult for him, and since he also can't build, then the whole game would probably suck from his perspective. Why did you invite Uncle Carl to play, anyway? Didn't you realize how uncomfortable it'd be for the rest of us??
So in summary: Doesn't plug in. Doesn't take batteries. Not a computer or console game. Fun for everyone who won't choke on it, except for Uncle Carl.
The items, even on the easy cards, can be quite challenging and require a significant amount of creativity to accurately construct with the blocks provided. I think that the limited amount of blocks provided, rather than being a downside is actually a positive point to the game as it encourages creativity and lateral thinking to create representations of the required items. Of course, as this is a Lego product, it's entirely modular and compatible with any of their other products - I highly doubt that these would be the only Legos in the house of the owner of this game - should the blocks prove insufficient, use it with more blocks.
The key is to remember that you don't have to make a supremely detailed model; you just have to make enough to help people guess. You can say "I ran out of green so pretend the yellow is green." It's never been a problem for us. The drawback is the game does not come with enough blocks to make all the items on the card. However if you already have extra legos at home this will not be a problem. And you can always improvised as I have stated above.
The game holds up really well and overall it is a fun change of pace from the traditional board games on the market.
Also the ages are 7+ my daughter was able to play this well even though she is only 5.

ボードゲームと言うよりは、レゴにちょっとした遊び方がついているようなイメージです。
久しぶりにレゴで遊びましたがやっぱり楽しいです。童心にかえって楽しみました。
Comunque consigliatissimo a qualsiasi fascia di età :D è un gioco molto adattabile a chi lo usa ;)
The game suggests 4 methods of play, which gives added flexibilty for differing groups of players. We prefer one player to build while the rest compete to guess first and gain a winning point. Others may prefer concurrent building by several players.
The game does not provide a timer, and you may wish to add one to maintain interest and momentum for all the players.
Overall ... not cheap, but an excellent game for all ages!
