"The LEGO Friends Canal Houseboat (41702) earns a BrickScore of 80 and is a near-unanimous hit with families — reviewers love its charming detail, action-packed accessory list, and a smart open-play design that keeps kids engaged long after the build is done."
Reviewers are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the Canal Houseboat, praising its charming theme, surprising level of detail, and strong post-build playability. Parents and kids alike highlight the build as an enjoyable shared experience, with the set delivering well beyond expectations in terms of accessories and interactive features. The one recurring mild criticism is that experienced young builders may find the construction goes by a bit quickly. Overall, it earns its solid BrickScore of 80 as a well-rounded Friends set.
Where they split: The only notable split is around build complexity: most reviewers found it perfectly pitched for the target age group, but one parent noted an advanced 8-year-old flew through it and would benefit from a more challenging Friends option.

"It looks like 2022 is a bit of a reboot year for Friends - more characters are introduced, more skintones, more characters with glasses, more male minidolls - I love all of these things!"
