Das verdrehte Labyrinth is a board game released in 2016 for 2–4 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Max J. Kobbert and Michael Feldkötter and its main mechanics are Point to Point Movement.
The labyrinth in the magic garden is constantly changing. By clever rotating the magical hedges, players open new paths to mysterious creatures and precious treasures. Magic cards help to fulfill the tasks. Who masters the turns and finds his way out of the magic garden first? A new twist at the changing labyrinth. This time, the paths are bordered by hedges, which can be rotated to change the paths. Each player has a stack of cards that direct him to various places in the labyrinth. In his turn, the player moves his pawn along the path; he may also rotate one hedge before, during or after his move. If he reaches his current target, he turns his next target card face up. Otherwise, he gets a magic card as consolation. The magic cards can be used during a players turn to aid movement. A hole allows to slip through a hedge. Two fairies allow to fly from one fairy spot to another one, ignoring the terrain in between. A player may use any number of magic cards in his turn. After a player has visited the targets on his six cards, the other players decide which exit he needs to reach to win the game.
Das verdrehte Labyrinth supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Das verdrehte Labyrinth is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Das verdrehte Labyrinth for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
