Engaging and challenging board game for young kids
by Ryott (5 out of 5 stars)
February 13, 2016

I have been a board game lover all my life. I am always open for a traditional game of chess or go, a family night of Trivial Pursuit or Scrabble or an all-out nerd night with Shadows Over Camelot or Warhammer. My 3.5 yeard old son seems to have also acquired this interest, so I am now in a quest to find games that we both enjoy playing together.

Last November I came across Labyrinth, a game I had not considered before due to its childish-looking cover. Even it was rated 8+, I decided to give it a try due to the overwhelming good reviews in Amazon. Oh, what a right decision! Labyrinth is that kind of game where the concept, the gameplay and the artwork come together to provide a masterpiece of family entertainment. But enough general praise; let me give you the detail of why I love this game.

THE RULES
- In labyrinth, you have a deck of cards. Every turn, you look at your top card in the deck and then try to bring your pawn to the right place in the board where that item is. So if your top card is the sword, you will have to move your pawn to the place where the sword is
- The labyrinth does not always have a path to the item you want to pick. That is why there is an extra tile. You can insert this tile from any of the yellow arrows (look at the picture of my son inserting a tile). This will shift all that line, and reshape the whole labyrinth so you can have a path
- To win, you need to find all the treasures shown in your cards and go back to the start point
- While the rules might look simple at first, the gameplay is simply fantastic. Introducing the tiles allow you to change the shape of the labyrinth, or even shift the position of yourself or your rivals! As we play more often, we find more creative ways of playing - and sometimes to obstruct each other, hehehe

DESIGN AND QUALITY
- First of all, the game comes in a beautifully decorated box. Once open, it has compartments to store the pawns/cards/tiles. This is already a plus compared to other "modern" games that expect you to dump everything in a mess into the box
- The tiles, same as the board, are made of hard cardboard. I got a little surprised at first (I was expecting hard plastic), but now that I have got used to them I feel them sturdy and durable
- The pawns that you use to play are simply superb. The Wizard, the Warlock, the Witch and the Sorceress (that's what I have name them, you can look at the picture). Thank you, Ravensburger, for spending a little extra money in making each of them unique and not just make the same figure in four colors!
- The tiles slide very well when pushed; sometimes they get stuck if the line of tiles is not fully aligned, but after a few games you will get use to this and it will not bother you
- The artwork has a mixture of childish-looking and art. My son loves the sword and the dragon the most!

RECOMMENDED AGE
- In general, I recommend this game for children 5-6 if you are willing to spend time to teach them, and 8 if you want them to learn the rules quickly
- Yes, I am playing it with my 3.5 year old, but I still need to help him a lot. He can figure out how to move his pawn around the labyrinth to the next treasure, and even insert the tile for a small, easy labyrinth reshape. But for more complex moves he needs my help. Don't get me wrong, I love playing it with him, but unless you are a nerd like me you might be better with other games such as The Game of Life Junior Game or Monopoly Junior Board Game
, or even ThinkFun Rush Hour if you have patience to teach him. You can check my reviews of these games if you are interested.
- If you are thinking to bu this game to play with adults only (no kids), I might not recommend it so much though. I think traditional games like Risk or Scrabble, or more advance games like Catan 5th Edition
,

Pandemic Board Game or Shadows Over Camelot will be more challenging and engaging for mature players

Overall, Labyrinth is definitely a 5-star game with a unique gameplay. I expect it to remain as one of our most often plays games for the next few years!

Totally Awesome older game that is new to us and we love it!
by The Helpful Dad (5 out of 5 stars)
August 15, 2016

This game is awesome. I had never heard of it before but while searching for board games for our family I came across this and decided to give it a try. The basic gist is that my 7 year old and I love it. It's a great challenge to be able to play against each other as YOU MOVE THE BOARD AROUND while trying to capture various items of treasure (and while trying to keep your opponent from doing so). It requires a bit of skills and thinking ahead but it's not so much that my 7 year old can't handle it.

I also like that it's a relatively quick game (30 mins or so) and I like the fact that it's not a 'dumbed down' version of an older game but instead appears to be the original from Germany.

If you enjoy board games that require strategy and include a fantasy aspect this is for you.

Get this game! Now!
by Brigitte Lynn (5 out of 5 stars)

The overwhelming number of 5 star reviews isn't a lie!

We opened up this game less than 24 hours ago and my kids have played it at least 10 times now, with my husband and I participating a few times as well. It has so much re-playability since it's really never the same game each time you play, and requires the addictive sort of problem solving style critical thinking that rewards both kids and adults a sense of pride in their cognitive skills.

The board and cards are very nice quality, better than most typical board games (which is, I hope, why the price is a but higher than those other games), but the fun makes up for that. I have no regrets with it.

We do have a four year old that plays, even though the game recommends 7+. She will need help occasionally, but she does understand the concept of the game. It's so fun finding games that appeal to a range of ages, so that no younger children are left out (something that happens too often when the older kids want to play more complex games).

Hope this review was helpful! Get this game!

FANTASTIC PURCHASE!
by Pichiprincess (5 out of 5 stars)
December 14, 2017

I bought this game based 100% on the reviews and I couldn't be more pleased!!! This is a fantastic game!! It was a Hanukkah present for my 8 year old daughter but her big brother (11) and little brother (5) both were able to and enjoyed playing it with her. I could not wait to play it the next morning too!

I especially appreciate that it does not require any reading as she is still not a confident reader and little brother is not reading yet either. It is a great logic game and I would recommend it to just about anything. I am planning on purchasing a few more copies to keep on hand for their friends birthdays.

Fun but cheap looking.
by zzztonyzzz (4 out of 5 stars)

Very fun game with 4 players. Can either be fast paced or very slow paced due to everyone over strategizing. You think you have a strategy until three turns later and the whole Labyrinth is completely new. We played it as a buffer before monopoly and it went a lot longer than expected. About 40 minutes in total.
4-1/2 - 5 stars for gameplay, 4 stars due to the look of the game. It honestly looks cheap and the color scheme is weird. Why is the background blue in a maze? The cards have a cheap/old look to them and it just looks low quality. But if that doesn't bother you, then it's a fun one and done game. Will be a while before it's back in rotation with us. I feel like it's one of those games that just sits on the shelf for a long time and only comes out when we are burned out of our regular game night games.
*Also the instructions are wrong and contradicts itself, states 4 playing pieces included and then tells you the players choose one of the 6 playing pieces insinuating 6 players lol.

I've attached 3 photos, two showing how the instructions are wrong. Good thing it didn't cost too much or I would be highly disappointed.

Pathetic quality
by Bernardo Pagnoncelli (1 out of 5 stars)
December 1, 2018

I am evaluating the product itself, not the game, which is great. This a low quality product, Ravensburger squeezed costs as much as possible maybe thinking no one would notice. The cards are of the thinnest possible paper. Horrible quality, they are not cards, just pieces of paper. But this is not the worst... The board, which is the most important element of the game, is awful. It does not stay flat, and therefore one cannot push the tiles properly. Since pushing the tiles is the most important action in the game I conclude Ravensburger was just careless, showing no respect for consumers. Please don't buy this game, try to find an older version online.

A fun game, and a very cool concept
by gEm (4 out of 5 stars)

This game is a lot of fun, the kids love it and so do us adults. The board is made of a maze of sliding tiles, all marked with a path that may or may not connect with the path next to it. The goal is: you slide the remaining tile (there's one extra for moving the board) each turn, then try to move your piece and collect the items that are scattered throughout the baord. This is more difficult than it sounds, as the board moves constantly, and an easy path might be very different by the time it gets back to your turn. I guess it's hard to explain without showing, but if you look at a game play video you'll get it.

The game is fun and we've played a few times. The only downside is this is one of those games where you can easily spend more effort trying to mess up your opponents than trying to win. Especially if you're a little brother and your goal is messing with your sister. Sigh...

Great for kids or adults.
by Austin White (5 out of 5 stars)
July 30, 2017

My wife and I play this all the time with friends. It is only 2-4 players so it isn't fit for a party game or large gathering. But is is a great game to play while having conversations as it doesn't matter what the other players are doing while it is not your turn, as after each turn the board is different and whatever strategy you came up with will no longer work. It is usually a quick game so it isn't a huge time commitment. As well it either be a fun or competitive game. Great for kids too as it is really easy to get the hang of after watching just one or two turns.

Delightful Find!
by Neal Rowland (5 out of 5 stars)

My wife bought this game for the kids last Christmas based on reviews she read; I would like to pay it forward to others.

At this moment, I am playing this game with my 8y and 4y old son. [See attached vid] It was their idea to play. I bring this up to help show that the game works ages as young as 4 - as long as they have some guidance and more relaxed learning curve. After many times playing and some guidance from his older brothers, the 4y can on equal par with the others, including the adults. Much depends on ability to use logic or see patterns.

The really nice part is that each game is unique even though the cards and the gameplay are the same each time.

I would highly recommend this game for families.

Enjoyable game. Easy to learn. 5yo nephew likes it.
by Thomas Taylor (5 out of 5 stars)

Gave as a gift to my 5 year old nephew. Played it once with him, his 14 year old sister, and father. Easy to learn, although the older sibling was initially less interested in playing, she started to get into it. I think everyone enjoyed the game. However, when the labyrinth "slides" as part of a player's turn, the kids kept trying to hold/block the piece from being slid off the board - as it changed the path to their goal. 5yo took an early lead, and with some tips every once in awhile won the game... Sometimes the labyrinth patch pieces that "slide" into the game get stuck (won't slide), unless you readjust the whole board, clearing any cross-path obstructions.
