I would just like to start this review by saying that I absolutely love this board game! (And apologies for the title, I couldn't help it). The concept behind it is very simple which means that it is suitable for practically all ages but it's a lot of fun to play. It is a mixture of strategy, random luck and a race to the finish and it is suitable for between 2 to 4 players. At the start of the game, players need to place the 34 labyrinth pieces randomly on the board. Some of the pieces are straight pieces of path, some are corners and others are T-junctions. Due to the random nature of placing them on the board, some will line up nicely and create ...  Read the complete review

I first got this game in the mid 90s & after reading review it appears it may have changed a little. Anyway, this is about the original version of the game. Packaging: The games comes in a standard game type box with a picture of an adult & two kids playing the game on the front. On opening the box there's a brown plastic "tray" which holds:- + 34 maze cards + 24 treasure cards + 4 wooden playing pieces + I playing board. The game: When you open the board the first thing you notice is that there are 16 fixed, non adjacent, squares on the board. These are all an equal ...  Read the complete review

This is a very original game, which requires a great deal of thought when playing. I have a re release of this game, and although it looks exactly the same as the picture, it seems apparent that they have changed the winning conditions since the way I play is different to the description. The most important thing to understanding how this game works is understanding how the board works. The board has 16 fixed squares on it with the rest of the squares made up by tiles that are free to move. Each square/tile has a path on it, which can run in different directions, for example it could be a bend, a straight path or a t-junction. When all the squares are on ...  Read the complete review

Little Brother was stretched out on the sofa, he's over 6ft and his legs blocked my path to the washing machine. I was stopped in my tracks by the unnatural and unusual state of things. "Why is the telly off?" I asked accusingly "And why are you... reading?" He replied that yes, he was reading. But it was the Sun and only to look up something that was going to be on telly. I turned to The Boyfriend who was propping up the doorway and adjusting his baseball cap. "You should follow his example and do something that doesn't involve staring at a screen." How to facilitate this was a bit of a mystery, but an hour later we were in Help ...  Read the complete review

A classic curiosity of mine, this game was first spied while working in a local charity shop. I took a shine to its interesting concept and spend the next hour googling to see if it had all the parts. It was also missing instructions so if you happen upon a copy also missing instructions then i shall help you out in true internet fasion. -Rules- Setting up the game is simple. take your tiles and place them all in the empty spaces that the board has left for you. If you have one tile left over do not fret, this is intended. Next pick a colour piece and place it on the appropriate coloured space. Last bit of the setup, take the cards, shuffle them and place ...  Read the complete review
