Dotted Games, a studio within asmodee that creates games in collaboration with the LEGO Group, has announced its third release following 2024’s Monkey Palace and 2025’s Brick Like This!
Here’s an overview of the 2-4 player game LEGO: NINJAGO – Destiny’s Bounty Adventures from designer Jonas Resting-Jeppesen:
In the game, villains are attacking the great ship Destiny’s Bounty, and the ninja must defend their ship! To defeat the villains, you must unlock your ninja potential. Upgrade your skills and work together with your fellow ninja using your unique abilities to thwart the villains’ plans to conquer the ship.
In more detail, at the beginning of the game, you choose an adventure. Each adventure has a different difficulty and set-up and brings plot twists, making players adapt and approach each adventure in different ways.
The villains try to reach the important areas of the ship, and if they do, you add the villains to the villain track. If this track is ever full, the ninja lose the game.
To win, the ninja do things like drink tea, read comic books, and defeat villains. As they do that, their victory tracks fill and unlock upgrades in the form of better spinjitzu and potential cards that give a character specific abilities. Which cards you choose and how you co-operate will be essential to winning.
The NINJAGO brand turns fifteen in 2026, so this game celebrates fifteen years of the brand within the LEGO Group. My son barely plays games these days, but hoo boy was he into NINJAGO in his youth. Not the spinners with which the series debuted in 2011, but the larger LEGO sets that accompanied the cartoon series — and I appreciated the cartoon series in my own way, mostly because the characters actually developed throughout the stories rather than being the same from start to finish. This was a nice change from some of what we watched together as we were able to speculate on what might happen, while also playing with the characters to tell stories of our own. Days long past now…
LEGO: NINJAGO – Destiny’s Bounty Adventures will be displayed at toy fairs in London and Nürnberg in January 2026 ahead of a debut on July 30, 2026 at Gen Con and in retail outlets.
