Amazing Labyrinth

Amazing Labyrinth

"The Amazing Labyrinth" (also stylized as "THE aMAZEing LABYRINTH") is a board game for 2–4 players, designed by Max Kobbert and published by Ravensburger in 1986.

The game board forms a maze built of both fixed and moving pieces. The players rearrange the maze to their advantage by moving a row of pieces in turn. Each player has one token, which they move in the maze. The player's goal is to collect treasures in the labyrinth and then return to their own starting position. The treasures appear in the cards that are dealt to the players in the beginning of the game.

The player is allowed to see only the card that shows his current destination. The player has to reveal the card when he has reached the destination, and take a new card from his pile. The other players notice when the pile is empty, and then usually try to prevent the leading player from returning to the starting position. Advanced players also try to guess other players' destinations in order to make their proceeding more difficult.

The game's original cover reads "THE aMAZEing LABYRINTH" and states that the game is for 1-4 players. Ravensburger has published a number of follow-on labyrinth games, starting with an advanced version of the game, "Master Labyrinth", created by Kobbert in 1991. This version of the game won the 1991 Deutscher Spiele Preis, and the Spiel des Jahres special award for "most beautiful game". It was followed by "Junior Labyrinth" (1995), a simplified version on a smaller board with fewer items to find; "Secret Labyrinth" (1998), a version on a circular board with simplified combat; the "Labyrinth Card Game" (2000); "3-D Labyrinth" (2002), a version with a plastic 3D board; "Lord of the Rings Labyrinth", a book/movie themed version; and in 2005 "Labyrinth Treasure Hunt", a version which features simultaneous play.

In February 2008, videogame website [http://www.ds-x2.com/news/aMAZEing%2BLabyrinth%2BOn%2BNintendo%2BDS%2C11029,11029 DS-x2.com] claims that DTP Entertainment AG is planning a Nintendo DS version of the boardgame. Three months later, an article on the [http://www.ds-x2.com/news/The%2BaMAZEing%2BLabyrinth%2B-%2BaMAZEing%2BScreenshots%2C11267,11267 same site] proves these claims true when some first screenshots of the portable version appear.
