Lego launch new board game 'loved by fans old and new' that can be nabbed for £5
It promises endless entertainment
Lego is a classic toy loved by all ages, children and adults alike. But it can often be a pricey affair when it comes to complete sets.
However, the toy giant has launched a new product that promises endless entertainment without emptying your wallet. Brick Like This! is an inventive board game designed to encourage cooperative building.
The gameplay involves forming duos, with one player picking a design card and the other crafting the model based on spoken directions. The Lego game is high-speed, with teams vying against each other to be the first to complete their build before the included timer runs out.

With 92 different shape cards, each categorised by difficulty level, the game caters to various age groups, although Lego suggests it for ages seven and up.
This brand-new Lego game is currently available at a significantly slashed price thanks to a deal you can snap up via TopCashback.
Normally priced at £22.99, new members of TopCashback can receive an additional £15 cashback on their order, reducing the price to just £4.82 at John Lewis, reports the Manchester Evening News.
This complex game includes 48 unique Lego bricks, which can be used to create a multitude of designs.
Brick Like This! aims to spark the same creativity that traditional boxes of bricks inspire, as opposed to the specific designs that most modern sets instruct players to build.
To spice things up, there are challenge cards that can be brought into play. Players get 20 of these cards to work with, each one crafted to make the game trickier with tasks like constructing whilst wearing a blindfold.
Teams battle it out for points over six rounds, with each game usually running for around 15 minutes – ideal for a swift burst of fun during those soggy weekends.

The Lego Brick Like This! party game has garnered glowing feedback, earning a stellar 4.9-star rating on Amazon. One delighted buyer remarked: "This is one of the most entertaining Lego-based games I've played in a while. If you enjoy Lego sets and want something more interactive, this game delivers."
Another reviewer gushed: "Overall, this is a great game. Lego fans old and new will love this and it's a great family game to play around the table. We highly recommend this game for all ages, young and old."
Meanwhile, another player expressed their enjoyment: "We found it quite fun. It's not going to be an all night one as when you learn the shapes they become easier to describe, though there's plenty to learn."
One reviewer critiqued: "Although there are enough bricks to play the cards, the game is a bit limited in extending or adapting with only 48 bricks." They suggested that additional bricks and designs would have enhanced the longevity of the game for avid players.
Another gamer commented on the initial complexity of the game, hinting that it may not be entirely suitable for younger Lego novices: "The game is pretty difficult. You have to be quick at giving or following instructions in 30 seconds.
The trick is for you and your partner to really know the names of the anatomy of the bricks."
