About the game
Shadow creatures are setting off to capture Luxantis Castle. They can be stopped only with the help of enchanted objects from the magic light forest labyrinth. In Die Legenden der Irrlichter, the players need to light up the labyrinth and must remember well the arrangement of the lights, since only the spaces that light up blue are safe. Cooperatively, the players reach an agreement in a plan to search for the objects and try to avoid the risky red ghost lights. Each round of the game can take an unexpected turn due to the interactive LED game board and unpredictable die roll. Players need to collect the magic objects in order to vanquish the shadow creatures.

Questions and answers
Luxantis 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 Luxantis is 20–30 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 Luxantis 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.
Luxantis has a complexity rating of 1.2 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.
