Asmodee has released the LEGO Ninjago: Destiny's Bounty Adventures Board Game, a cooperative tabletop experience priced at £34.99. Designed for players aged eight and up, the game includes six replayable adventures that increase in difficulty, allowing players to unlock new abilities and LEGO-inspired upgrades as they progress. It features exclusive ninja characters, including an exclusive Nya figure, and is available for purchase now.
Gameplay and Features
The game brings the popular Ninjago universe from screen to tabletop, challenging players to work together as their favourite heroes to defeat villains and protect Ninjago. In the game, players control one of four ninja characters—Kai, Cole, Jay, Zane, Nya, or Lloyd—and cooperate to defend Destiny's Bounty from waves of villains. Unlike competitive games, everyone is on the same team, moving around different rooms on the board, responding to events, and tackling villains as they appear. Defeating enemies allows players to upgrade their ninja with LEGO equipment and abilities, making them stronger as the game progresses.
Reception and Suitability
The game is designed for ages eight and upwards, but it has received positive feedback from younger players as well. One customer noted, “This is a really great family game! My kids are obsessed. I have a 5 and 8-year-old. The 5-year-old needs help reading the details on the story cards, but otherwise he can handle it. If you have ever played Zombicide, it reminds me of that, but it’s like a junior version for kids.” Another five-star reviewer added, “Fun game! If you enjoy LEGOs, Ninjago, or thought-provoking games, this is the game for you.” A third customer praised its quality, stating, “This is a really nice quality game – well made and thought out, definitely more to it than I expected and not just a kids game.”
Availability and Impact
The LEGO Ninjago: Destiny's Bounty Adventures Board Game is available for purchase at £34.99. It is positioned as an ideal pick for family game nights and keeping children entertained during school holidays. With its cooperative gameplay and progressive difficulty, it offers substantial replay value. Asmodee's release extends the Ninjago franchise into the tabletop market, providing fans with a new way to engage with the series.
