I'm looking for new ways to play with LEGO with my young son. When he gets older, I'm sure we'll enjoy BrickWars and BrickQuest and Evil Stevie's Pirate Game and so on. But they're both too complicated and too violent for him at this point. The game I'm looking for would have the following characteristics:
- Not require many hundreds of dollars of LEGO (like ESPG) to play.
- Not too violent -- no killing, maiming, dismembering, or blowing people up
please. In fact, no guns. Instead of war, how about something based on a race,
a chase, a treasure hunt, an engineering problem, etc.?
- Not too hard to learn -- should rely more on imagination and sense of fun than
on lots of dice and tables. Just a basic structure of rules to help the play
move along, perhaps.
- Lots of fun/interesting/silly things to do.
Can anyone think of an existing LEGO game like this? If not, does anyone have
interest in kicking some development ideas around?
Thanks,
- Joe

| (...) You could try (URL). It's basically Pictionary with LEGO pieces. Depending on your son's age, some of the things you're supposed to be illustrating might be a little difficult, and the piece count is pretty limited (less than 100, IIRC). I (...)
