Earlier this week, we highlighted an exceptional offer on the officially licensed Lego Monkey Palace board game. The quick-moving strategy game was–and remains–$24 for Target Circle Week. Amazon was equalizing Target’s offer, but currently, it is presenting a significantly better alternative during Prime Day. You can obtain a copy of Lego Monkey Palace for just $15, marking a new record low.
Monkey Palace is an entertaining tabletop game that transforms the process of linking Lego bricks into a brisk and diverse strategy game for 2-4 participants. Developed by Bezzerwizzer in partnership with Lego, Monkey Palace debuted last October and frequently retails for nearly its full $40 MSRP.
Since this isn’t officially recognized as one of Amazon’s Prime Day board game offers, all consumers can benefit from the $25 price reduction; there’s no need to possess a Prime membership.
Monkey Palace Lego Strategy Board Game
$15 (was $40) | Prime Day Offer
What ensues when a monkey discovers an ancient palace in the jungle but opts to redecorate their new abode? Naturally, the entire structure crumbles, so now you and up to three additional players must reconstruct it from the ground up.
To assist the monkey in living lavishly once more, humans take turns placing Lego pieces to create makeshift staircases. Each piece holds a specific value in Monkey Credits, which can be traded for Monkey Cards. The Monkey Card you opt to play decides which brick type(s) you utilize to create and adorn the staircases. As you construct, you accumulate Banana Points, which are tallied at the conclusion of the game to determine the champion. Games typically last about 45 minutes.
Monkey Palace includes 231 bricks and several game boards, each offering its own unique hurdles and enhancing replayability. There are numerous ways to construct your palace, so while there are rules to adhere to, it is quite an open-ended game that can be approached from various perspectives.
The game is suggested for players aged 10 and above, but younger individuals with experience in constructing Lego can enjoy the
Loop, as well. My four-year-old consistently constructs and alters Lego Super Mario playsets, and he delights in Monkey Palace. We occasionally need to assist him with planning, yet that hasn’t prevented Monkey Palace from turning into one of his preferred board games.
Monkey Palace certainly isn’t the initial officially licensed Lego board game, but it stands as the sole one still available in print at this time. Previous Lego board games generally fetch quite high prices on resale platforms, so it would be prudent to incorporate Monkey Palace into your collection promptly, especially since it’s currently discounted so significantly.
Monkey Palace is merely one of the numerous strategy board games offered at reduced prices this week. Another standout from the promotion is Catan 6th Edition, which debuted in April and is now receiving its first markdown. Our coverage on the Catan discount features a substantial list of family-oriented board game deals that are definitely worth exploring.
Amazon also presents several noteworthy discounts on Lego building sets, but it is also advisable to check out the Lego promotions at Target and Walmart, as both retailers feature a broader array of impressive offers.
