Labyrinthos is a board game released in 2020 for 2–4 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Lindsey Rode and its main mechanics are Square Grid, Grid Movement, and Action Points.
Greetings Young Warriors of Athens, On this day, you have been given the honor of entering our city's labyrinth as part of an annual sacrifice which is meant to satisfy the monstrous minotaur that lives inside. Now this may seem like a dark and twisted fate, but there could still be a glimmer of hope for one of you brave souls. According to legend, the great inventor Daedalus hid a set of powerful keys inside his ever-changing walls and that whoever can find them will unlock the secret to escaping … so long as the minotaur does not find them first. Labyrinthos is a fast paced, dungeon tile game, where you and up to 3 friends must explore a dangerous and ever changing maze. To win you must be the first to find all four hidden keys, evade the Minotaur that hunts you, and escape to freedom. But be warned! Every time you find a key it will change you in unexpected ways... —description from the publisher
Labyrinthos 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 Labyrinthos is 30–60 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 Labyrinthos for ages 10 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.
Labyrinthos has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
