LABYRINTH: PATHS OF DESTINY IS AN EPIC QUEST THROUGH A MAGICAL MOVING MAZE TO ATTAIN IMMORTALITY!

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09MJ8JYL3

The Labyrinth is the work of an ancient race of Time Mages. Once you enter there's no easy way back or out. Its ever-changing mechanisms hold many secrets.

Become the only hero to obtain the key which allows you to escape from the Labyrinth. Discover and use your character's extraordinary skills to explore the multilevel underworld composed of unique passages and bridges.

Seize hidden magic artifacts, defeat deadly traps, and trick the ancient Golem who has guarded the maze for centuries. Remember, though, that the Labyrinth will shift again as you come to the end of your quest...

VENTURE INTO THE LABYRINTH!

Adventure as the mighty Paladin, the mysterious Warlock, the cunning Hunter, the nimble Assassin or the grim Reaper. This is just the beginning – 12 more mighty powerful characters await in the game!

You have been brought to the Labyrinth by the mystical, powerful fate crystal… You have no idea what to expect, but soon enough you will discover that the path to attaining immortality is a real challenge - a monster-filled labyrinth constantly changing and filling up with traps. The great prize is guarded by the indestructible Golem, which must be outsmarted.

It turns out other heroes have the same objective as you. Duels are inevitable. To prepare, seek out powerful, hidden artifacts which can help sway fortunes in your favor. You must also prepare for magic events which will befall the labyrinth, frequently shaking its foundations.

Grab fate by the horns and set off on an unforgettable adventure to fulfill your destiny!

Labyrinth – journey to become immortal in a magical world of adventures!

THE TIME TO ADVENTURE IS NOW! HOW TO PLAY?

In The Labyrinth: Paths of Destiny players have to secure the ancients' magical key and reach the labyrinth's heart, thus making the victor immortal.

Do not forget to avoid the Keeper (Golem), overcome traps, and show monsters and other players how powerful your magic is! If you lose all your life points – you will be resurrected and still have a chance to win or mess with other players’ plans!

During the game, as you take turns you have a choice of any 2 of the following actions:
- Basic: move the hero, build the labyrinth, leave traps, use the abilities of your hero or items,
- Special (once per turn): move the Keeper of the Labyrinth, move monsters, evoke powerful events!
Situational: climb or descend a bridge, fight another player or rest.

FOR WHOM IS THIS GAME?

* For children (boys and girls) aged 8-10 who want to become epic heroes and like playing with mazes. Families can play the game together!
* For casual gamers who like adventure fantasy games with strategy elements (like Talisman, but prefer shorter, faster, and less chance-based play).
* For semi-casual and advanced gamers who are fascinated by "Dungeon Crawlers" (games set underground) and RPGs, where the decisions they make are crucial, while dice rolls add a dose of randomness.

PLAYERS: 2-6 (playing in teams is encouraged)
AGE: 8-10+
PLAYING TIME: 45-90'

THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE LABYRINTH RUNNING MAZE BOARD GAME:

1. FANTASY RPG ADVENTURE - players feel like they're raiding dungeons filled with traps and become heroes with unique abilities, trying to pass various tests with 2d6 dice (difficulty based on Gaussian distribution).
2. STRATEGIC & LOGICAL THINKING SKILLS - the game demands analytical skills to work out which moves are of greatest benefit at any one time.
3. STIMULATES THE IMAGINATION - the board imitates 3D effects which is wonderful for developing spatial awareness and imagination
4. REPLAYABLE - the game board is different every time you play, the heroes vary, the traps and items are in different places.
5. INTERACTIVE - each choice influences the decisions of other players.
6. COMPETITIVE / TEAM COMPETITIVE - it's a type of race lasting about 1.5h where players can disrupt and stop each other.
7. MULTIDIMENSIONAL - the more you play, the more interesting possibilities you discover.

Those who have played Labyrinth: Paths of Destiny said:

Roman & Sophia (source: Rebel): “The game fully met our expectations. We were a bit afraid that a game for 2 players would not be interesting, but surprisingly, it’s perfect both for a couple and for a bigger group. Good production quality, good rules… We recommend it sincerely :)”

Louve (source: Rebel): “After initial confusion, the game gets clearer and quicker with every round. Also, more strategy appears. We played with 5 people and this surely increased the dynamics of the events on the board, making the game more attractive. Generally, it is very nice and the atmosphere is immersive. The game may not be too difficult, but it requires a bit of experience to understand your actions and plan them well. But only a few rounds are enough to get it anyway. The production is flawless, the art corresponds to the atmosphere of the game, the board and character markers are made of solid cardboard, cards also look elegant. The atmosphere resembles Talisman, but there are no more similarities between these games. Labyrinth offers many more options and has more complex mechanics. There is also a little character development. The only bonuses can be provided by items, but they do not make a huge difference anyway. Labyrinth is as good an adventure game as they come, mixing a bit of planning with randomness, with the atmosphere of slightly dark (“underground”) fantasy. The gameplay is fun, dynamic, and not too heavy. To me it’s 4/5, with inclinations towards 5 :)”

Margaret W. (source: Rebel): “A very nice game. Good, solid production (we are always careful with cards, so I didn’t notice any damage). So far we have played with 2 and 4 people. Based on my experience, I must say that the more people play, the better the gameplay (in a 2-player version it’s good to introduce some more difficulties, for example, two keys necessary to escape the labyrinth). But the most fun part is (both for me and my friends) upsetting the others’ plans (this is why the game is better with more people – you never know who will come up with an idea to hamper your actions ;)). I recommend the game, especially to those who enjoy this type of interaction.”
