PM - Board to Death of LEGO's

Love board games and love building with LEGO? We'll start the week recreating your favorite board game out of our supply of LEGO bricks. You've never played Monopoly or Stratego like this before! (Make sure you arrive with a rough idea of the rules to at least one board game you'd like to attempt in LEGO.) During the week we'll take ideas that work, and the unique features of LEGO, to invent a one-of-a-kind game that no one has ever played before. May the best minifig win.
