Atlantis: We can't figure out how to move a submarine in Atlantis Treasure. Directions say to move it as far as it can go, but it seems very confusing.
Answer: You move your submarine in a straight line, but stop when you reach the edge of the board, a coral, another submarine OR when you land on a crystal. IF you land on a compass brick, your submarine changes direction, move your submarine in a straight line as directed by the compass brick…
-

-
Creationary: What if I don't have enough pieces to create the things on the card?
Answer: In Creationary, the real trick is to keep it simple. Build using as few bricks as possible. If you do so it should be possible (although not necessarily easy…)
-
Creationary: What if you land on a card with something you are not good at building?
Answer: Try anyway. Creationary is about three things: 1) being good at building, 2) being good at guessing – and 3) having fun!
Even if the card is difficult, someone might be very good at guessing… And struggling with something that seems impossible might be a fun challenge. You might even get better at building that thing than you were before you played the game!
-
Creationary: If you get a card (cards have four models on them) which one do you have to make?
Answer: The one matching the colour you rolled. If you rolled “the question mark”, then you choose the category. If you rolled the orange “x2”, then the player sitting to the left of you chooses the category – but you can score double the amount of points.
-
Can we add pieces to Creationary that are not from Creationary e.g. TECHNIC pieces?
Answer: Yes. You can add all the pieces you want.
-
Creationary: Can you build in Creationary?
Answer: Yes – Creationary is a build & guess game..
-
Creationary: How do you change the game?
Answer: You can start by using the suggested changerules in the rules book. After that you can freely invent your own rules, e.g. something like this: The players write notes with stuff, like: names of superheroes, famous people, moviestars etc. The players then draw one of the notes instead of drawing a card when they roll question mark. - And when you roll the x2 you draw two of these notes and build both.
-
Creationary: Some of the cards are very difficult, do you have any building suggestions?
Answer: Remember that Creationary is also a guessing game. Your creations do not have to be perfectly built, try using the basic shaped bricks and the identifiable colours and the guessers may well find it easier.
If you are still struggling, you can play with the rule that the builder is allowed to give a hint, by making a sound matching the creation if the guessers are all stuck.
-
Creationary: Can we add as many extra pieces to Creationary as we want?
Answer: Yes!
-

-
General: What happens if there's a tie?
Answer: If there is a tie, normally it is a sign that there is an accountant nearby…
In one of our games, if there is a tie, and the rules does not specify who wins, then the tied players shares the victory.
-
General: Could you combine two lego games besides HEROICA?
Answer: HEROICA is mad to be combined, BUT you could try to combine other games by changing the rules. Eg. you could take the wolf from Shave a Sheep and add it to Kokoriko - Now when you roll grey you may: Either take a grey chicken or let all of your grey chickens lay an egg OR move the wolf next to a players chickens. As long as the wolf is next to your chickens they do only lay half as many eggs (rounded up).
-

-

-

HEROICA: How can you win the game if you have all HEROICA parts but Fortaan?
Answer: You choose the objective. Eg. you could choose to make the Dark Druid the main opponent, so whoever defeats the Dark Druid wins the game.
-
HEROICA: Can you play all four sets at once?
Answer: Yes. You can combine all the sets and play them. If you go to the Movies section on the HEROICA site, you can see Nico and Thomas battle over who can build the coolest HEROICA world!
-
HEROICA: Do you guys think you could make an online Heroica game you know where you roll the dice and stuff like that?
Answer: Maybe. It sounds as a good idea, BUT nothing beats a real boardgame. :)
-
When playing HEROICA Fortaan, how can a player get enough gold to buy any weapons?! There are only two treasure chests-that disappear after the first player that gets to them chooses them-and there are only 3 places with gold other than that. Should the gold be replaced after one player claims it? Or can the treasure chests be put back in play?
Answer: The gold and treasure chests are not replaced. Normally, you will not earn a lot of gold for weapons in a single mission, but when playing Epic HEROICA you can. If you want to be able to buy weapons in a single game you can choose to add more gold to the board.
-
HEROICA: In "Epic Heroica," Can 2 or more people be the monsters, if at least one person is a Hero? Also, what will be some of the new characters in Heroica 2012?
Answer: Probably what you are asking is if two people can control the monsters in Battle HEROICA, the answer is yes - BUT naturally it becomes more difficult for the Heroes. New Characters 2012 (Check out HEROICA Ilrion): Prince, Sage, Vampire Lord, Zombie.
-
HEROICA: Can I make items for HEROICA?
Answer: Yes. You can make new items, rooms and adventures for HEROICA. Eg. you could make your own potions, add extra gold or weapons.
-
HEROICA: In HEROICA we were trying to figure out if a move was necessary after rolling the die? For example, if you roll six do you have to move six spaces or just one space? And can you double back before you hit a dead end? If you don't have to move then one person can stay on a magic spot and keep moving doors around.
Answer: You cannot roll 6 in HEROICA, the maximum is actually 3 on the LEGO Dice.
You can move up to the number shown on the LEGO Dice.
You can double back.
In Waldurk: You move the magic doors every time you end your move on a magic space. So technically you could keep moving the magic doors, BUT you will not progress! AND remember the other players may pass through the magic doors if they are standing next to them and roll a HEROICA shield.
-
HEROICA: is Waldurk Forest pronouced with the English W or the German W (V) as in the German word Wald meaning woods?
Answer: That depends on which character you are playing. The barbarian speaks with an austrian accent. (Anyway in German W is pronounced as a W - so it does not make a big difference).
-
HEROICA: Can the druid heal other heroes?
Answer: No. Not in the current rules, BUT it is an interesting rule suggestion! Try it out, see if you like it.
-
What is the best HEROICA set?
Answer: Combining all 4 HEROICA sets is my favorite game. Doing that will give you a lot of possibilities for new and different missions… If I could choose only one set it would be #3860 HEROICA Castle Fortaan.
-
HEROICA: Do you get a dice for each HEROICA world?
Answer: There is one LEGO Dice in each set – and it is used the same way in the games out now.
-
Lava Dragon: How do I move on the volcano?
Answer: When you have rolled the dice, if there is space on the side you rolled you place on one of your movement squares. Then you may move a step for each movement square you have on that side.
When you move a step you may move your knight one step horizontally along the same level of the volcano OR Climb up one level of the volcano.
When you have finished moving your knight, continuing clockwise any other player that has movement squares showing on the rolled side of the LEGO dice you may also move their knights.
-
Lava Dragon: What do you do if you're on the highest point of the volcano and you roll a movement square in your knight’s color?
Answer: Your turn ends. Keep your fingers crossed that on your next turn you will roll the Orange volcano tile so you can jump onto the back of the dragon!
-
Lava Dragon: What happens when you step on an orange valcano block?
Answer: You may not step onto an orange volcanic lava block!
If you do so you I am sure you can imagine what would happen to your feet! Please don’t do it.
-

Magikus: How and where does the owl move? Does it stay put in its initial location on the brown spaces above, or does it move to the side of the shelves?

-
Magma Monster: If the first part of the path is brown, then grey, then tan, do I have to roll brown, then grey, then tan? Or can I just roll a tan and jump up to the Monster?
Answer: Yes, you have to roll brown, then grey, then tan if you want to follow that path. You may not immediately jump up to the Monster.
But… you can also place a new brick whenever you roll tan, grey or brown you can build your own path next to the existing path, then you don’t have to wait.
If you are lucky you might even be able to connect to a different path of the same colour already on the board and advance really fast!
-
Magma Monster: What happens when I have a bat on my head and I am right in front of the monster? Do I have to fight the bat, or can I fight the monster?

-
Magma Monster: I need pieces for Magma Monster, Special Edition, where do I get them?
Answer: Depending of which bricks you are missing you might find them at OR you can add some bricks from your LEGO collection to the game. Having different shapes of bricks will change the game and create some extra variation.
-
Magma Monster: If four players are playing do they need to build four or two paths?
Answer: You may build as many paths as you want. Players do not have to build their “own” path.
-
Magma Monster: What’s the name of the one who designed the game? I love this game!
Answer: My name is Bastiaan Brederode – and THANK YOU, I’m glad you like it.
-
Magma Monster: If you are caught by a bat, how many turns do you wait until you are sent back to base?

Answer: One each time you roll a side with a meteor.

Minotarus: Do you have to get the exact number of spaces to get on the temple?
Answer: No.
-
Minotaurus: If a hero runs into the Minotaur instead of the Minotaur running into the hero, does the hero have to go back to start?
Answer: Yes! BUT it would make a great change rule, that you can knock the Minotaur back to the center if you land on him.
-
Minotaurus: Do you need a player that can control the Minotaur?
Answer: No. When you roll black you control the Minotaur and move him up to 8 spaces. If another player rolls black he/she does the same.
-
Minotaurus: If you play with a green tile, and there are no hedges, what do you do?
Answer: You move three steps.
-
Minotaurus: Can you remove a wall after it has already been moved?
Answer: Yes. When you roll Wall (grey) you may move any wall on the board, whether it has been moved already or not.
-
Minotaurus: Can I wall in the minotaur?
Answer: Yes, but others might want to free the minotaur again when rolling grey
-
I really love Minotaurus. Could you guys give me some tips on some ways to change the game?
Answer: In the rules you can already find some change rules. But you could also consider a "sprint rule", you may re-roll as long as you dare, while the dice shows numbers - BUT if you have moved one of your heroes and you roll Minotaur or wall, your figure gets exhausted and is removed from the game.
-
Minotaurus: When you roll the grey tile, can you move the walls that are already in the maze?
Answer: Yes.
-
Minotaurus: How many guys do you have to get to the chamber to win?
Answer: That all depends on how long you want to play the game. You can decide on getting only one in the chamber for a short game, or try for two or even three to play the game longer.
-
Minotaurus: Can heroes or the Minotaur jump over walls?
Answer: No neither of them can do so in the basic game. BUT in the change rules you can find a variant where the heroes are able to jump hedges.
-
Minotaurus: What happens if you trap the minotaurus with path walls?
Answer: Then the Minotaurus is caught until someone releases him.
-
Minotaurus: How close does the Minotaur have to be to a player to scare the player off?
Answer: The Minotaur has to land on the same space to knock a player back to start.
-
Minotaurus: Can you surround a hero with walls?
Answer: No. There should always be a free path to the center – but it can be VERY long :)
-
Monster 4: Can you move the spider when it's on the board?
Answer: Yes. When you roll black you move the spider.
-
Monster 4: Can you have a match using all four skeleton jokers?
Answer: No. You can use the skeletons in combination with your own monsters to get four-in-a-row. So you need at least one of your own monsters in that line.
-
Monster 4: If a grave is not available, does that mean that you lose your turn (by walking like a zombie :oD)?
Answer: Yes!
-
Monsters 4: What happens when you put the spider in a graveyard area? Does it stay, or does it go away?
Answer: It stays. While the spider is there you can still place monsters in the area. It's just when the spider jumps in, it scares the monsters out!
-
Monster 4: What do you do if all of your monsters are in the graveyard and you roll something that requires a move in the graveyard? Do you use one of the monsters already in the yard, or do you lose your turn?
Answer: You move one of the monsters that is already placed in the graveyard. Just as you suggested.
-
Ningago: if the general is already on the space after the last temple space and you roll general what do you do?
Answer: When the General steps down from the stairs he will claim a golden sword from the Ninjas and go back to the top of the stairs. If the Ninjas has no golden swords they loose! (Unless the get help from the Sensei). You can read the details in the rules under "Loosing golden weapons" and "Using the Sensei".
-
Ninjago: What happens if the army gets all 4 golden weapons?

-
Ninjago: Can you jump over walls?
Answer: No, not unless you are using the ninja rope.
-
Pirate Code: If you roll a color you don't need, do you forfeit that gem move?
Answer: Yes.
-
Pirate Code: If you roll a color and want to move that color gem from one place to another, but there is already a gem of a different color in the spot you want, what do you do?
Answer: If there is already a gem in that place, then you cannot place a new one. BUT: Remember you in each turn you have 2 gems, one of the colour you rolled –AND one of whatever colour you choose. For each of those gems you can choose to move a gem of the same colour INSTEAD of setting in a new one. SO in this case you can choose to move the gem that is in the way to another position and then place the crystal of the colour you rolled where it stood.
-
Pirate Plank: What happens when you fall of the plank on a shark?
Answer: You are out of the game.
But if you play with the change rule “Shark Survivor” You still have a chance…
In reality: You should really try NOT to fall onto sharks.
-
Pirate Plank: How do you set up a dice for the game?
Answer: The LEGO Dice starts out by having only the “Pirate tile” on the dice. The remaining tiles are built on during the game.
-
Pirate Plank: Can you change planks?
Answer: No. But you could make your own rule allowing that.
-
Pirate Plank: What happens if you forget what plank you are on?
Answer: I guess that you are playing with the ”Shark Survivor rule”. If that is the case and you roll “skull and crossbones”, you just jump back onto any empty plank.
Otherwise: Try asking one of the other players.

Race 3000: Does the game end when the first player crosses the line?
Answer: The first player to cross the line wins the game. You can though choose to play on to see who finishes in second and third place if you want to.

Answer: No, you may only pick up the crystals on the brown movement spaces when going around the pyramid at the start of the game.
-
Ramses Pyramid: If I roll mummy can I move the mummy king?
Answer: No. (But you can make your own rule for doing that.)
-
Ramses Pyramid: What do I do with the crystals I have collected?
Answer: The crystals make it easier to climb the pyramid.

-
Ramses Pyramid: If you've guessed a color correctly, do you get to keep that crystal?

-
Robo Champ: What happens when you roll a color in Robo Champ, and you have all the parts in that color already?
Answer: If you have all the parts of one colour, then you have already won! Hurry and assemble your robot (remember as soon as you have a robot of one colour you have won, no matter if it is a robot of the same colour as the piece you started out with.
-
Robo Champ: Can you assemble a random robot?
Answer: Yes – but you will not win the game this way. Try building a new color robot using your own LEGO bricks.
-
Robo Champ: Can I win the game with a robot of any colour?
Answer: Yes. If you are the first player to complete a robot in one colour you win, even if it is another colour than the one you started out with.
-
Robo Champ: What happens if you roll “swap parts” and there isn’t anything to swap or you don’t want to?
Answer: If you roll the dice, then you can decide if you want to swap or not.
-
Sunblock: What happens if 4 trash cans come together?
Answer: Nothing – sun beds still can’t be on a space next to any trash can.
-
Wild Wool/Shave a Sheep: If you roll wolf but there is no sheep to shave, what do I do?
Answer: If you roll a side where you can’t do anything, then you do nothing.
But you could make a new rule, speeding up the game saying: BEFORE you roll the LEGO Dice you add one piece of wool to your sheep. Then you roll the dice and carry out the action (add more woll, swap, shear or use the wolf).
-
Wild Wool: Do you shear your sheep if it has five blocks of wool?
Answer: Yes – if your sheep has five blocks of wool, when your turn begins, you shave your sheep before rolling the dice.
