Labyrinth: The Card Game

Lay maze cards and grab every card whose symbol your new card connects to, as long as the labyrinth stays whole.

Labyrinth: The Card Game takes the Ravensburger maze idea and turns it into a small card duel. You lay square labyrinth cards showing fantasy symbols such as a griffin, a dragon, a scroll, a key or gems. When the symbol on the card you just laid connects directly to identical symbols on other cards, you take those cards, though not the one you laid, as long as the labyrinth stays in one piece. You only hold two cards and draw after laying. When the draw pile runs out, the player with the most collected cards wins. A 2000 children's game for two to six that holds enough for adults, too, in about half an hour.

Who it's for

You want a short, sweet card game to play with a child from seven, where spotting patterns matters more than deep planning.

Not for you if…

You want a meaty game for adults. It is a children's game, and the thin hand of two cards keeps decisions light.

Vibe's take

Quick and a little greedy. You scan for matching symbols, spot the one placement that sweeps up three cards, and sometimes sigh because you cannot take it without splitting the maze.
