Chima time!: How to play Speedorz

Speedorz, the extra little game that comes with the great theme of Legends of Chima. How exactly do you play it?

First off, You'll need some Chima cards and rip cord, maybe some obstacles will do too.
i recommend the Speedorz CHI battle set 70113, it has everything you need, the speedorz  vehicles, obstacles, and chi.


Now, i got this info off of a site called Squidoo.com, more speefically, http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-play-lego-chima-speedorz


Make sure to check out thier website, or.... Just you know, look at this info.

Speedor Vehicles

The Speedor vehicles first need to be assembled. They include a flywheel and a vehicle top which are connected with pins. A LEGO minifigure is placed on a Speedor with their legs under the top of the vehicle.

You push the ripcord through a hole near the flywheel and pull to charge the vehicle - make sure your hands are not blocking the flywheel.

Quickly place the charged Speedor on a flat surface and off it shoots.

Speedor  Obstacles 

Speedorz uses various obstacles which are built from LEGO pieces. In some sets there is a CHI orb (blue ball) to release and capture. The obstacles and objectives in each set are different. If you have multiple sets you can combine them for a more varied game.

The sets also include ramps which can be mounted by Speedorz to lift the vehicle up. This is tricky and takes some practice.

The obstacles are nice LEGO models in their own right which means they can be played with alongside the other LEGO CHIMA sets as well as being used in the game.



Now, according to what i've been seeing, like "Ninjago" when you do spinjutsu, you dsy "1...2... CHI!"
Just want to put that out.




CHI Battles Games

We have the CHI Battles Speedorz set which includes two Speedorz vehicles and a variety of obstacles that can be used to play various mini games that form rounds in an overall game - scoring is via CHI crystals:



  • Be first to hit the spinning top. This set includes a LEGO spinning top (a nod to Spinjitzu perhaps) which you build from LEGO pieces. It spins very well. You set the spinner spinning and then both players (or more I guess) set off their Speedorz and try to be the first to hit the spinner.

  • Hit the cones. This set includes four buildable fang cones - two red and two yellow. This is sort of like Speedorz skittles. Take turns to see how many fang cones you can knock down.
    Capture the CHI orb. A blue CHI orb is hidden under the main obstacle in this set. Try to hit the obstacle and release the CHI orb and grab it.
  • Like Ninjago, there are Game Cards.


    Speedorz Game Cards

    Speedor Obstacles
    Each Speedorz pack includes game cards which are used when you have two or more players in a Speedorz game to determine who wins a CHI crystal for a round of the game. You start the game with a deck of game cards which are used during the game.

    As you can see, each card has a value against four symbols (representing the battle powers of instinct, speed, courage and strength.) And there's also an overall CHI value.

    When a player wins a round (e.g. by releasing a CHI orb) then they get to draw a Speedorz card and choose a battle power. The player that has the highest value for that skill wins the round and gains two CHI crystals. This part of the game is like Top Trumps.

    You can also choose to add the CHI score to your instinct score by paying with a CHI crystal if you think that gives you a better chance. (With my math advocate hat on I rather like this aspect of the game - you're doing simple arithmetic and weighing up odds.)


    Speedorz Power-Upz

    Power-Upz are LEGO elements that attach to Speedorz vehicles and change how the vehicle moves and interacts with obstacles.

    Speedorz CHI Crystals

    Speedorz sets include blue CHI crystals. The objective of Speedorz is to win six of these CHI crystals.


    Well there you have it, again make sure to check out that site above. Now if thats not good for you, Then let's try a Visual Aid! My good friends from the Brick Central, made a video on it. 


    Bam! Cool poster right? i personally like it.... Its old. Yep. Thanks for reading, more news about Chima soon!
