Creationary

Roll the Lego die, build something from the category and see whether your friends can guess it.

Pictionary with Lego bricks. You roll the Lego dice to pick one of four building categories: vehicles, buildings, nature or things. Then you build, within one of three difficulty levels, while the rest of the table tries to guess what you are making. A 2009 game for three to eight players, with four different play variants, including a collaborative one where everyone builds together against the clock. A round runs from half an hour to an hour, depending on how much you feel like building. Great if your table is happy to construct silly things, less great if you want a game that tests deep strategy.

Who it's for

You have a mixed group of kids and adults who like building and guessing and want something silly rather than competitive.

Not for you if…

You want a sharp, competitive game, or your group dislikes timed creative tasks. Guessing quality varies with the builder.

Vibe's take

Silly, hands-on and chatty. Half the fun is watching a vehicle turn into something nobody can name.
