Asmodee and LEGO launch Dotted Games – a new studio dedicated to creating LEGO board games

Asmodee and LEGO have teamed up to launch Dotted Games, a new games studio dedicated to creating LEGO board games.

The first game to launch from the studio is Monkey Palace, a jungle-themed game of light strategy from designers David Gordon and Tin Aung Myaing. Monkey Palace will be available to buy globally following its worldwide debut at Essen Spiel in October.

The second title to launch from Dotted Games will be Brick Like This! – a family party game with a focus on teamwork, communication and building with LEGO bricks.

“We are thrilled to announce that our collaboration with Asmodee – it has been a truly inspiring journey,” said Jaume Fabregat, Board Games Lead at LEGO Publishing.

“By combining Asmodee’s extensive expertise in board games with the limitless potential of the LEGO system, we are unlocking exponential possibilities for innovation in play. This partnership paves the way for future collaborations that will redefine the LEGO building experience within the tabletop landscape, offering fans unique and distinctive play experiences.”

Thomas Kœgler, Asmodee Deputy COO, added: “Embarking on this exciting journey with the LEGO Group is exciting, combining their timeless creativity with our passion and expertise for games.

“Together, we aim to build unforgettable experiences that will unite families and friends around the world, one LEGO brick and one shuffle of the deck at a time.”
