About the game
No relation to the Rose Art board game of the same theme, this was the first game to promote Lego's Bionicle series of toys and even includes Bionicle masks which can be used on the actual Lego toys. Players take the roles of "Toa" (the main charecters of Bionicle) and move around a posterized game board attempting to complete challenges on the island of Mata Nui. When a challenge is successfully completed, a player is awarded a mask which grants additional, optional powers to him. First player to achieve getting all 6 of his Toa's masks (the masks are pre-constructed pieces, same as those found in the toys) wins. Despite being marketed as a CCG, the starter decks themselves are quite literally complete, mini-board games in and of themselves. There are 3 expansions; Rahi Challenge, which added new cards, Bohrok Swarm, which could be played independently and introduced a new mechanic, "Bohrok Control", and The Bohrok Awake, which was a promotion released alongside Mighty Kids Meals from the McDonald's fast food chain.
