Reception
Build a Duck was featured on Yahooligans! on 15 August 1997.[5][6]
Notes
- The LEGO Group and the LEGO Foundation frequently suggest duck building as an activity, typically using the same six bricks featured in this game.[7] In 2012, the LEGO Group released a set with these pieces under their Serious Play theme.[8]
- The LEGO Group later published Duck Building, a web game with similar mechanics.[9]
