LEGO Legends of Chima is a board game released in 2013 for 2–3 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Max Valembois and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Area Majority / Influence.
Legends of Chima: A Tribal Battle Game to Collect Chi Chima is a game produced and composed of Lego building blocks. It is a dice based area control game. Players take turn rolling the dice, allowing them to place/move their warriors onto the board. Certain rolls provide special powers, but most involving adding warriors to one of the three regions. After each turn, the player drops a CHI token into a column, where it randomly falls into one of the three regions. When a player reaches 4 warriors in one region, they take all CHI from that region and remove all their warriors. Other players who were present keep any warriors they had there. When all 25 CHI tokens have been collected, the player with the most CHI tokens wins. Dropping tokens into the tower at first appears random. However, with some practice, it is possible to partially control which region will get the dropped CHI. Like other LEGO games, the rulebook includes several variants and encourages players to develop their own rules. From the box: A tribal conflict game to collect precious CHI. Plan where to send your warriors to capture the most CHI. Will the next CHI fall in the territory you control? 1 buildable LEGO Dice 12 LEGO microfigures 198 LEGO pieces Rule booklet Building instructions Set # 50006 Item # 6024935
