LEGO debuts world's first buildable board games

This August LEGO will revolutionise the board game industry in New Zealand with the
launch of LEGO Games, the world’s first collection of constructible board games.

With one of the games, Ramses Pyramid, developed in conjunction with Dr. Reiner
Knizia, one of the world’s most successful games designers, the range will see 11 games
introduced including strategy, action and chance‐based games.

Tipped to be at the top of Wish Lists this Christmas, the ten new games from LEGO
provide a whole new game play experience where, using LEGO bricks, players have to
build the board game and dice before they can play! Once built, players play the game
which can last anywhere from 15 minutes to a full hour, and can include from 2 to 8
people.

With LEGO Games the rules are there to be broken! All 11 games can be changed by
constructing the board game in a different way or by simply adding (or removing!)
more LEGO bricks. The unique buildable dice in all LEGO Games allows players to
change the rules: why stick to only moving five spaces when you roll a five when you
can double it and move ten spaces?

In stores in August, pricing starts at $24.99 to $69.99 RRP. As part of the launch in New
Zealand, the LEGO Games range will also feature a licensed property with the iconic
Harry Potter Hogwarts™ board game, where players have to build and then move their
Harry Potter characters through the famous castle from the Harry Potter novels,
endeavouring to be the first to collect various homework objects to win the game.

The new LEGO Games range includes:

Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™

A fun and challenging family game, players must successfully
navigate moving staircases and secret passages at Hogwarts to
collect all their homework items and return to the common room.
Harry Potter Hogwarts (RRP $69.99) includes 9 LEGO
microfigures, including Harry Potter™, Hermione Granger™, Ron
Weasley™, Draco Malfoy™ and Albus Dumbledore™.
