Monkey Palace is an officially licensed Lego board game that’s currently available for a significant discount on Amazon. Priced at just $19.11, this represents over a 50% reduction from its standard retail price of $40. This family-friendly game caters to 2-4 players and combines the joy of building with Lego bricks into a strategic experience.
In Monkey Palace, players take on the role of humans helping a monkey who has accidentally collapsed its new palace while trying to redecorate. The objective is to rebuild the structure by taking turns adding Lego pieces that serve as makeshift staircases. Players earn Monkey Credits by placing pieces, which they can exchange for Monkey Cards. These cards determine the types of bricks that can be used to build and decorate the staircases, while Banana Points accumulated throughout the game decide the winner at the end.
The game lasts about 45 minutes and includes 231 Lego bricks along with multiple game boards, each offering unique challenges that enhance replayability. Though there are guidelines for gameplay, it also allows for creative strategies in building.
Monkey Palace is rated for players aged 10 and older, but younger players with experience in Lego can also enjoy it. For instance, even young children can appreciate the game with a bit of guidance on the strategy. It’s noteworthy that while there have been other Lego board games in the past, Monkey Palace is the only one currently in print, making it a great addition for collectors. As it’s already selling at a low price, now is an excellent time to consider adding it to your game collection.
For those interested in purchasing, you can find the game on Amazon. Others retailers are offering the game at higher prices, such as Walmart for $35 and Target or the Lego Store for $40.
