Description:

Labyrinth (formerly The aMAZEing Labyrinth) has spawned a whole line of Labyrinth games. The game board has a set of tiles fixed solidly onto it; the remaining tiles that make up the labyrinth slide in and out of the rows created by the tiles that are locked in place.

One tile always remains outside the labyrinth, and players take turns taking this extra tile and sliding it into a row of the labyrinth, moving all those tiles and pushing one out the other side of the board; this newly removed tile becomes the piece for the next player to add to the maze.

Players move around the shifting paths of the labyrinth in a race to collect various treasures. Whoever collects all of his treasures first and returns to his home space wins!

Labyrinth is simple at first glance and an excellent puzzle-solving game for children; it can also be played by adults using more strategy and more of a cutthroat approach.

Instructions

Object of the Game

Search the Labyrinth for your magical objects and characters by carefully moving through the constantly moving maze.

The first player to find all of their objects and characters and then return to the starting square is the winner.

Setup

Before playing for the first time, carfefully move the maze and the character/object cards from the stamped board. Shuffle the maze cards well and then place them face upon the board to create a random maze. â€¦

Labyrinth Variant Rules

The rules of the basic game also apply for the special edition version. Please not the following changes:

12 maze cards have an encrypted message on the back that helps players to reach their goals faster. These messages can only be found on the 6 maze cards that show a straight path or the 6 that show a right angle path.

Once a player pushes a maze card out of the labyrinth, they check the card for an encrypted message on the back. If the card has an encrypted message, the player may use it for their move. Since all the messages are favourable, it is to the players advantage to follow the hidden instructions. â€¦
