Introducing Dotted Games: The Creative Powerhouse Behind New LEGO Board Games
At the heart of this innovative partnership is the formation of a new studio dedicated to crafting these exciting LEGO board games—Dotted Games. This studio, based in Denmark, is composed of a team of industry veterans who bring decades of experience and a treasure trove of awards to the table. Their mission? To create the best LEGO board games that appeal to fans of all ages while unlocking new ways to play within the LEGO universe.
Dotted Games is set to be the creative engine driving this partnership, developing games that not only capture the essence of LEGO but also push the boundaries of what board games can offer. With the versatility of LEGO bricks at their disposal, Dotted Games is poised to redefine the board game landscape.
LEGO Board Games Monkey Palace: A First of Its Kind
The first fruit of this exciting collaboration is the LEGO Board Games Monkey Palace, a jungle-themed game that brings a fresh twist to the concept of LEGO board games. Revealed earlier this year and designed by the talented duo David Gordon and Tin Aung Myaing, Monkey Palace combines light strategy with the fun of LEGO building, making it an ideal game for families and friends.
In Monkey Palace, players are tasked with helping the monkey rebuild its palace by constructing elaborate staircases out of LEGO bricks. This game is designed for two to four players and offers both collaborative and competitive gameplay elements. With each playthrough, players will discover new strategies and approaches, ensuring that the game remains fresh and engaging no matter how many times you play.
Monkey Palace is more than just a board game; it’s a LEGO experience that encourages creativity and strategic thinking, making it a perfect addition to any family game night. The game will make its global debut at Essen Spiel or the Essen Game Fair on October 3, 2024, and will be available for purchase worldwide shortly after.
How LEGO Bricks Enhance the Board Game Experience
What sets LEGO board games apart from traditional board games is the integration of LEGO bricks into the gameplay. This unique element allows players to build, modify, and interact with the game in ways that traditional board games simply can’t offer.
Whether you’re constructing a staircase in Monkey Palace or creating your unique structures, the possibilities in LEGO board games are as endless as your imagination.
LEGO bricks bring a tactile, hands-on element to board games that enhances the overall play experience. It’s not just about rolling dice and moving pieces; it’s about building something tangible, something you can see and touch. This adds a whole new dimension to gameplay, making LEGO board games a must-have for any fan of creative play.

Following the excitement of Monkey Palace, Dotted Games is already hard at work on their next release: Brick Like This! This upcoming title is a family-friendly party game that emphasizes teamwork, communication, and, of course, building with LEGO bricks. Designed for 2-8 players aged 7 and up, Brick Like This! promises to be a hit among LEGO board games.

Whether you’re a seasoned board game veteran or a newcomer to the hobby, Brick Like This! offers something for everyone. The emphasis on collaboration and creativity ensures that no two games are ever the same, providing endless replayability.
