Online LEGO Pirate Game
Fan-made online LEGO pirate games can entertain those looking for a quick diversion. At "The Pirate's Realm," you'll find the "LEGO Pirate Game." This stop-motion game features photographs of actual LEGO pirates and LEGO pirate sets. You use your keyboard to navigate a LEGO pirate figure as he sets out to find gold, conquer puzzles and battle with enemy LEGO pirates.
Console LEGO Pirate Games
In 2011, "LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean" released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo 3DS. You reenact scenes from the first four movies of the franchise as LEGO versions of 17 playable characters. Collect LEGO studs to be able to purchase power ups and earn points. A highlight of the game, according to IGN reviewer Audrey Drake, is the game's sense of humor.
Building LEGO Pirate Games
If you have a tub of LEGOs, perhaps the most obvious LEGO pirate game you can play is building a pirate ship. How many and what types of LEGO pieces you'll need depends largely on how complicated you want to make your ship. You can use nearly an entire basic bucket of LEGOs to craft a large ship or use a quarter of that amount to make a small ship just the right size for one or two figures.
Imagination LEGO Games
Using either your original LEGO pirate ship or one of the pirates-themed LEGO sets like "Brickbeard's Bounty," you can play imagination games similar to playing with action figures or dolls. First you get to put a set together and then you get to play with the figurines as they uncover gold LEGO pieces and other treasure. The best part about playing with LEGOs is that you can so quickly and simply swap out entire parts of your play area, like if you want to move where a treasure chest is buried.
