Magical Maze is a board game released in 1994 for 2–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Gilbert Lévy.
With the aid of the Wizard, you'll try to get the gold (a magnet underneath the labyrinth), to your own corner of the game board. You'll need to remember the way, except there are goblins trying to stop you. When the Wizard lowers his arm, you move back a square and the next player then tries to make it towards his corner instead.
Magical Maze 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 Magical Maze is 20 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 Magical Maze 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.
Magical Maze has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
