The party game genre has been a staple in the gaming space for years now and the latest addition is LEGO Party! The game was released back in September with a decent fanfare and promotion. We’ve finally had some time to play the game for a little bit and here are my impressions of it. At first look, you could say that LEGO Party! is a distant offspring of one of the more popular games of this genre, Mario Party. The game features 60 LEGO minifigures that you can unlock while playing 60 different minigames in Challenge Zones which include, Pirate, Ninjago, Space, and Theme Park. Depending on how long you want to play, you can also customize the number of rounds from the shortest (6 rounds/45 minutes in Pirate Zone) to the longest (24 rounds/180 minutes in Theme Park Zone).

This year’s LEGO Seasonal Family Christmas Tree (41843) is on the more expensive side but if you’re looking for a cheaper tree option, you may want to check out Amazon. They currently have LEGO Christmas Tree (40573) from 2022 on sale for 40% off the regular retail price. It is now listed for only $26.99 and that saves you $18 on it which isn’t bad for 784 pieces. When it was released a few years ago, it was the most detailed Christmas tree that LEGO has done until the new one from this year came out. Update: The Amazon deal is dead but Target has it up for the same price however the promotion ends tomorrow. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

When working life feels like a grind, I daydream about trading office life for a fire lookout tower in remote wilderness. Aside from the allure of having an amazing view and only birds and a ham radio for company, the setting has also inspired some great media, like the amazing Firewatch game and the Tower 4 narrative podcast. Danish builder Benjamin Anderledes also felt the pull of the lookout tower and created a microscale version in LEGO.  Brown chain railing keeps the microfigure ranger safe as they take in the spectacular view of microscale trees.

Dutch AFOL William Van Beek didn’t set out with a focus on building birds – his MOCs had been grounded more in the architecture of the Netherlands. But as buildings became dioramas, birds became as essential as minifigs to bring the Dutch countryside to life. This was especially true as William began a project to recreate the historic Efteling Park in LEGO, as the storybook theme park famously features a daily goose parade! Soon William had an army of geese with an adorable and expressive design made from roughly 15 parts, most prominently croissant wings. Friends and AFOLs were taking notice! But as prominent as geese are in Dutch landscapes, they’re far from the only bird. Swans and pheasants joined the flock! Wings from the D&D Aarakocra Ranger work perfectly for soaring swans, and the pheasant modifies the goose build with a stubbier heads and buttery brown croissant wings. Roosting storks...
