LEGO set 10223, Kingdoms Joust, depicts a medieval tournament scene within the Castle theme. Released in 2012 under the Kingdoms subtheme, it includes 1575 pieces and 9 minifigures focused on royalty, court life and armoured knights.
Kingdoms Joust belongs to the Castle theme and presents a jousting scene from the Kingdoms subtheme. Rather than serving as a complete castle, it focuses on a formal medieval event, giving the range a courtly setting alongside more defensive or battle oriented models.
The lineup combines rulers, attendants and opposing knights.
It suits display, narrative play and Castle collecting, especially for builders who want a tournament setting rather than another fortification. Within Kingdoms, it works as a civic and ceremonial counterpart to sets centred on walls, towers or direct conflict between factions.
