Legends of Labyrinth is a board game released in 2016 for 2–4 players, 45–60 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Mateusz Pronobis and Kamil Matuszak and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Pattern Building, and Open Drafting.
Your goal in Legends of Labyrinth is to gather three retinues of heroes before anyone else. A retinue can be gathered when you recruit four identical heroes or four different legendary heroes, and each retinue that you have gathered enables you to use its powerful abilities! You recruit heroes by using the proper influence cards that you draw at the beginning of your turn. These cards are also used to "steal" heroes and influence cards from other players and sabotage their plans. During your turn, you can take one action: play one influence card or (if you have the proper heroes) gather one retinue. However, if you collect a proper set of influence cards, during one turn you can draw many cards, recruit lots of heroes and take a number of actions to surprise your rivals!
Legends of 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 Legends of Labyrinth is 45–60 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 Legends of Labyrinth for ages 14 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.
Legends of Labyrinth has a complexity rating of 1.5 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.
