I gifted the kiddo Lego Monkey Palace board game. I’ve never enjoyed the Lego video games, they feel like such a missed opportunity to encourage creativity through building, but this board game is pretty great. The instructions are a little overwhelming at first but once we got the feel for it everyone had a great time. It’s got a spacial puzzle feel to it while everyone collaboratively builds a palace structure and competes to make it taller. The little guy didn’t want to tear it down because “it looks so cool” but was very excited for another round.
You might check out the Lego Worlds game. I believe this is the one that’s in a style similar to Minecraft and not one of the puzzle type (admittedly my favorites) that most of them are.
