If you're a terrible artist, can't mold a rough sculpture to save your life or simply love playing with [building blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-voyagers) the [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-settlers-of-catan) Creationary game is just for you. Modeled after the classic Pictionary game, it substitutes pencils, pads and even [Play-Doh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdoh-barbie) for LEGO pieces.

Comprised of 96 cards, a buildable LEGO dice, minifigure, microfigure, and a rule booklet, the LEGO Creationary game lets you build objects that fit into one of four categories: vehicles, buildings, nature or things. It is priced at $35.
