Lego are having a bit of a renaissance in recent years, after they decided to go back to their roots and stopped using huge moulded pieces that made Lego as exciting as building a prefab in 4 parts.

This new venture is quite clever, as it doesn’t dilute their main business of construction kits, but moves their bricks into another area: board games.

There are a number of games either available now or due to appear before Christmas, but the Minotarus game is expected to be the biggest seller.

With a price of under £17 online, it’s not massively expensive, and should sell well if it’s in with the board games and not the Lego!
