LEGO has launched a new NINJAGO board game, Destiny's Bounty Adventures, designed to bring families together during the festive season. The game, a collaboration between LEGO and Asmodee, is available now on Amazon for £34.99 and is aimed at players aged eight and over.
The game accommodates two to four players who team up as ninjas Kai, Nya, Cole, or Zane. Players face obstacles and enemies, including malevolent pirates, while working on teamwork and adventure. It marks the third collaboration between LEGO and Asmodee, a global developer of tabletop games.
Game Features and Exclusive Minifigure
Destiny's Bounty Adventures includes six adventures with a variety of options to change events, offering many possibilities for each play session. The game comes with ninja LEGO minifigures for players to assemble, including a Nya minifigure exclusive to the board game.
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: “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 Reviews and Alternatives
Shoppers have praised the game on Amazon. One customer wrote: “Great game for any Ninjago fan! Especially with the limited edition figure. Easy start and the game gets harder as you progress through the different rounds, nice touch as you upgrade your Ninja with a choice of upgrades.” Another said: “My 14-year-old son loves this game he said its very good.” A third added: “Brilliant board game. Very entertaining.”
Other reviews noted the game's quality and theme. One customer said: “This LEGO Ninjago board game feels very well made, with sturdy components and colorful artwork that captures the Ninjago theme nicely. The pieces and game materials feel durable enough to hold up through repeated family game nights.”
However, one customer highlighted 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.” They added: “I taped them to reinforce the sides and keep everything inside. Other than that, it’s a fun cooperative game with a good theme and a clever use of Lego pieces.”
For those seeking simpler options, the Navoys Snakes & Ladders Classic Board Game is available on Amazon for £8.99, and the Monopoly Junior Board Game has been reduced from £17.99 to £12.80.
