Aim of the Game
Be the first to collect three different golden treasures.
Setting Up the Game
Before you start playing, build the game using the LEGO building instructions provided in the set. Building the game teaches you about the pieces and how you can use them. This makes it easier to rebuild the game or change the rules later on.
Build the LEGO Dice using the tiles shown in the rulebook (diagram not reproduced).
Each player chooses an adventurer.
LEGO tool: The set includes a tool to help you take tiles off the LEGO Dice.
Playing the Game
The youngest player goes first. Play then continues clockwise.
On your turn roll the LEGO Dice and carry out the action you rolled.
Crystal Move
If you have already collected a crystal matching one of the colours rolled, move up to TWO spaces in any direction. You may not move diagonally.
If you do not have a matching crystal, choose one of the temples to look inside. Pick it up and look at the colour of the crystal without letting the other player see.
- If the temple contains a crystal matching one of the colours rolled, show it to the other players and then move your adventurer up to TWO spaces in any direction.
- If the temple does not contain a matching crystal, then you do not move your adventurer this turn.
Now close the temple so that the crystal is hidden and then place it back in any empty temple space. You may not place the temple so that adventurers cannot be moved off the start space in a later turn.
Curse of Ramses
Do the following in ANY order:
- Move your adventurer up to THREE spaces in any direction.
- Move the mummy THREE spaces clockwise through the outer spaces around the edge of the board. The mummy curses ALL adventurers in the spaces he moves through. If you are cursed you must move your adventurer back to the start space and leave a golden treasure in the space where you were cursed. If you do not have a golden treasure, you must leave a crystal if you have one.
LEGO tilt: The best way to pick up a LEGO piece is by tilting it before you lift it.
Collecting Crystals and Golden Treasures
You may move through any space unless it is blocked by a temple or the mummy. If you stop in a space that contains a crystal or golden treasure that you do not have, you may take it, then your turn ends. Only one adventurer may stop in a temple space.
Winning the Game
The first player to collect three different golden treasures wins the game.
Change: Your Game, Your Rules
LEGO Games are made to be changed. You can rebuild the game or the LEGO Dice, change the pieces or even the rules! Every little change makes it more and more YOUR GAME.
The secret to changing a game is to only change one thing at a time. If you like the change keep it, if not try another. Get started by trying these suggestions, but remember to make sure everyone knows all the rules before you start playing.
Secret Passages
The crystals cannot be collected and always stay in their spaces. Now when you roll 'Crystal move' and reveal a matching crystal, you may move up to two spaces as normal, or move directly to any space containing a crystal matching that colour.
Jinxed Crystals
Rebuild the LEGO Dice as shown in the rulebook (diagram not reproduced).
If you move into a space with a GREEN or PURPLE crystal you must stop and place it on your adventurer's head, then your turn ends. You are now jinxed!
- If you are jinxed, ignore green and purple crystals when you move through spaces that contain them.
- If you are jinxed and you roll 'Crystal move' you must reveal TWO crystals that match both of the colours you rolled to move. If you have already collected a crystal matching one of the colours, you must reveal a crystal matching the other colour to move.
- If you are cursed by the mummy while jinxed you must leave a golden treasure or crystal in the space and return to the start space as normal, but the jinx is now lifted. Remove the green or purple crystal from your adventurer and place it in any empty outer space.
Ramses Rampage (for 2 players)
Remove the purple and green crystals from the outer spaces. Now when you roll 'Curse of Ramses' move the mummy FIVE spaces clockwise through the outer spaces, and move your adventurer up to three spaces in any direction as normal. The first player to collect all FOUR golden treasures wins the game.
