Lava Dragon Reviews
Eurobricks
“This is a pretty simple game - the play is as basic as the build. In a nutshell, when your color comes up on the die, you get to move towards the top of the pyramid. Rolls showing the orange tile let the roller move the "lava" cone to block opponents. First to the top wins.”
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“This LEGO set stands out for its simple build and the unique dragon design, rather than its gameplay experience. Collectors might appreciate the variety and detail in the microfigures, which come in four distinct colors and prints. The inclusion of a LEGO dice adds a novel touch, although the set's primary value seems to lie in its parts, particularly the 2x4 bricks and tiles, making it more appealing for MOC (My Own Creation) enthusiasts rather than as a collectible or investment piece.”
