Eight New Games from LEGO in 2010
In 2009 LEGO launched its game line in Europe with ten titles – games that are expected to be released in North America sometime in 2010 – and in March 2010 the company will release four new titles in Europe, with four additional titles to follow later in the year. Those games are:
• Shave a Sheep – This awesomely-titled game lets players do exactly what the title says, but you’re relying on the roll of the die to let you shear without fear as a wolf awaits for a taste of lamb chops. (2-4 players, ages 5+, 10-15 minutes, €10)
• UFO Attack – The UFO is attacking your mountainous moonbase. Try to collect as many resources as you can and hotfoot it back to Earth. (2-4 players, ages 6+, 10-15 minutes, €13)
• Magma Monster – Escape the eponymous monster by building bridges over a pool of lava and grabbing the treasure as quickly as you can. (2-4 players, ages 7+, 10-20 minutes, €13)
• Pirate Plank – Try not to be the pirate forced off the plank into shark-infested waters. Be the last pirate standing to win! (2-4 players, ages 7+, 10-20 minutes, €13)
• Atlantis – Scheduled for August 2010 with a price of €25, this game ties into the Atlantis theme featured in LEGO’s regular line of building products.
• Hogwart’s Challenge – Also scheduled for August 2010 and retailing for €25 is this Harry Potter tie-in.
• Two other titles not yet revealed.
In other LEGO news, the company increased sales in Germany by 14% in 2009 to 210 million Euros and is developing a massively multiplayer online game in which participants can (duh!) build things. Another article claims that in its introductory year LEGO claimed a 10% market share with its game line, placing it third among the German game industry.

Agreed, the dice look awesome. They look like their faces could be changed during the game. I think you can order individual pieces from their web site (you might need their designer software) but I’m not sure if every piece they make is available. Posted by S.
