3. Prepare Cards: Shuffle the 92 Shape Cards and place them face down in a draw pile. If using, shuffle the 20 Challenge Cards separately and keep them in their own face-down pile.

4. Gameplay

The game is played over six rounds. In each round, teams compete simultaneously to build LEGO models. Each team designates one player as the "Instructor" and the other as the "Builder." These roles swap each round.

4.1. Round Structure

1. Draw a Shape Card: The Instructor for each team draws one Shape Card. They must not show this card to their Builder.
2. Start the Timer: Once all Instructors have their cards, the sand timer is flipped to begin the round.
3. Instruct and Build: The Instructor verbally guides their Builder on how to construct the shape shown on their card using the communal LEGO bricks. The Builder must only use the bricks and follow the verbal instructions; they cannot see the card.
4. Race to Finish: All teams build simultaneously. When the first team successfully completes their model, they shout "Brick Like This!" and the sand timer is immediately flipped again, giving all other teams a final 30 seconds to complete their builds.
5. Scoring: After the time runs out, teams compare their models to the Shape Card. Points are awarded based on accuracy and completion. The team with the most accurate model scores the highest points for the round.
6. Role Swap: For the next round, the Instructor and Builder roles within each team switch.

4.2. Winning the Game

After six rounds, the team with the highest total score wins the game.

5. Optional Challenge Cards

For an added layer of difficulty and fun, incorporate the 20 Challenge Cards. These cards introduce special rules or limitations for a round, such as:

• The Builder must build with their eyes closed.
• The Builder can only use one hand.
• The Instructor cannot speak certain words (e.g., numbers, colors).

It is recommended to play a few games without Challenge Cards first to familiarize players with the basic rules before introducing these modifications.
