Monkey Palace Game Review

Let’s cut right to the chase: Monkey Palace, a 2024 release from LEGO and Dotted Games, is a must if you check any of the following boxes:

• You like LEGOs, or just enjoy games that double as building toys.
• You have kids who love LEGO-themed anything: the brand, the building, the movies, etc.
• You are struggling to find games that really let a child express their creativity, in an environment where you want to subtly teach competition in a safe space.
• You like city-building games where you can scale down from constructing a metropolis to building a silly fort made of LEGO blocks.
• You like monkeys.

Oh, Well If There’s Monkeys, Then…

Monkey Palace is a 2-4 player family-weight strategy game. Players use LEGO bricks in three different styles to slowly build a structure in the middle of a green LEGO playmat. After placing new pieces on a turn, players collect cards used to build an income engine that will supply future turns, and when at least one of the three brick style supplies is exhausted, everyone takes an equal number of turns and scores are added up based on the value of the cards in that income engine, along with a few other bonuses.
