Build your way to victory!
Introducing Monkey Palace, the first ever jointly crafted board game from the LEGO Group and Asmodee, an entertainment leader specialized in tabletop games. First unveiled to retailers at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in January 2024, the game was created by designers David Gordon and Tin Aung Myaing.
A jungle-themed adventure of light strategy tailored for two to four players, the game integrates the world-renowned Danish building system into play for the first time. It also features elements of creativity mixed with collaborative and competitive mechanics.
In Monkey Palace, players must strategically work together to build the game’s namesake structure, while also competing for the highest brick income and points. Under the watchful gaze of the Monkey, the palace gradually takes shape, resulting in an impressive construction using LEGO elements that players can proudly display at home. The iconic LEGO System in Play means that each time the game is played, the building experience and final construction are unique and different!
“We’re thrilled to take all LEGO and board game fans on this gaming journey, combining the LEGO Group’s timeless creativity with our passion and expertise in board games,” said Birgitte Bülow, an industry veteran and head of the LEGO board game creation team at Asmodee. “Utilizing the endless possibilities of LEGO bricks was pivotal in designing this game. We believe Monkey Palace offers an extraordinary gameplay experience, blending competition and collaboration for board game enthusiasts worldwide.”
Jaume Fabregat, board games lead at LEGO Publishing, adds, “At the LEGO Group, we’re committed to inspiring the builders of tomorrow, which is why we’re so delighted to reveal Monkey Palace in collaboration with Asmodee. The game challenges kids and adults alike to use LEGO elements to build, unbuild and rebuild their palaces, creating a fun play experience where no two games are the same. This latest collaboration allows us to bring even more creative and innovative ways to play.”
Moving forward, the LEGO Group and Asmodee aim to discover innovative new ways to combine the popular LEGO System in Play with the socially interactive nature of board games, delivering on new and unique play experiences for families and fans across the globe.
