Monkey Palace

Monkey Palace is a competitive building game for 2–4 players set in a jungle palace that's just been accidentally demolished by its resident monkey. Players work together to rebuild it — but only one can win. It's a LEGO board game that combines hands-on brick building with genuine strategic decision-making.

On your turn you place LEGO bricks to build a staircase for the palace, earning Monkey Credits and Banana Points as you go. Monkey Cards add tactical twists, and with different game boards available there's no single route to victory. The player with the most Banana Points when the palace is complete wins — but how you build matters as much as how fast you build.
