Labyrinth Board Game by Ravensburger

For me there is nothing better than spending a Sunday afternoon playing a board game, especially if it is raining. We have so much rain this past week that we didn't bother to make any plans for today we just stayed in and had a play day.  

Today we played a new game called Labyrinth by Ravensburger. As always I was left to read the rules and then set up the board.  

The game has 34 maze (path) pieces which are placed on the board. 24 treasure cards which you pick up and tells you which piece of treasure you need to collect and 4 playing pieces.   The idea of the game is very simple. You make your way through the maze collecting your treasure and using the shortest route possible. Obviously that does sound easy but there is a twist. The walls of the maze can be moved by other players which will either make their route easier or block other players on their path.   The first player to successfully collect the treasures and make it home wins.  

Setup was easy and took less than 5 minutes. You set out the board and fill it with maze (path) pieces. You use all but one piece. So you place 33 on the board and leave one at the side.   The Treasure cards are dealt out evenly between all players. Each player only looks at their top treasure card and then its time to start.  

On a players turn they take the spare board game piece and slide it onto the board to make a path for themselves so they can move. The piece that falls out the other side now becomes the spare piece and then the player moves and the turns continue clockwise.  

When you have got to the space where your treasure is you then turn over your treasure card to show the other players and then you look at your next card and try and find a way through the maze to collect that.  The best part of the game is the board can change so much so it keeps the excitement going.   

Every time we have played it was like a new game because you have to build the board the treasure was in a different place each time. Daddy won, which was a surprise as he never wins. Haha.  You can view the wide range of games available by visiting Ravensburger HERE   *we were sent Labyrinth to review. all thought are our own*
