The new LEGO NINJAGO Destiny's Bounty Adventures board game, which includes buildable minifigures and an exclusive Nya figure, is now available on Amazon for £34.99. The game, suitable for ages eight and above, has already received praise from customers, with one calling it "a great game for any Ninjago fan."
Gameplay and Features
Designed for two to four players, the game sees players team up as ninjas Kai, Nya, Cole, or Zane to embark on a series of quests. Players work together to overcome challenges and battle foes, including serpents, pirates, and a bewildering postman. The game includes six different adventures, with choices that can change how each quest plays out, offering replay value for families.
This release marks the third partnership between LEGO and Asmodee, a worldwide creator of tabletop games. Roger Martin, Marketing Director at Asmodee, said: "Adventure and teamwork are the anchor to our latest LEGO NINJAGO collaboration, making it everything that we love about family gaming. Players can immerse themselves in the world of LEGO NINJAGO, including playing as the much-loved Nya." He added that the launch is "the ideal celebration to mark fifteen years of LEGO NINJAGO and is the must-have game to play this summer holidays."
Customer Reactions
Early reviewers on Amazon have been enthusiastic. One customer wrote: "Great game for any Ninjago fan! Especially with the limited edition figure," noting that the game has an easy introduction before becoming more challenging, with players able to upgrade their Ninja characters as they progress. Another reviewer said their "14-year-old son loves this game," while a third called it a "Brilliant board game" that was "very entertaining."
Parents have also shared positive feedback, with one customer saying: "My kids love this game so much!" explaining that their seven-year-old son bought it with his birthday money and the children had been playing it ever since. Another reviewer commented: "If you enjoy LEGOs, NINJAGO, or thought-provoking games this is the game for you."
Quality and Minor Drawbacks
The game's quality has been praised, with one customer describing it as "very well made," highlighting its sturdy components and colourful artwork. However, one customer noted a few reservations, mentioning the need to watch short explainer videos before understanding how to play. They said: "The game is made up with a little chance, a little strategy, and a lot of fun. I needed to watch a couple of short explainer videos to understand how the game works, but once you know the flow, it’s easy."
The same reviewer also pointed out a downside: "Don’t expect to play it right out of the box. There’s some initial setup, and they mixed all the pieces into three random bags. It took time to sort each character’s accessories. Also the storage boxes are not strong, and pieces fall out easily." Despite these issues, they concluded it was "a fun cooperative game with a good theme and a clever use of Lego pieces."
