Happy Birthday LOLUG! That’s right, LOLUG turns 6 this month. It seems like only yesterday we were warming up formula, changing its diapers…..errrr…aaaahhh never mind.

Wait a second. What is a DRAFT you ask? A LEGO® draft is an activity where multiple copies of a single set is divided between participants. Preparation includes dividing the sets into lots. This can be done in various ways, including by piece and color. Generally, each mini figure is assembled and is its own lot. Then each participant is randomly assigned a rank. Each person takes a turn and chooses a lot in rank order until all lots are taken.
Hope to see you there. Until then, PLAY WELL!!
