Jim Henson’s Labyrinth The Board Game

This is a really fantastic game. If you've ever played Dungeons and Dragons and Forbidden Island/Desert, this is almost like a mashup of the two. The game plays out pretty much with players trying to get closer to each other and "improving" their character's traits without getting knocked out of the game. Rules seem complex at the start but actually work out to be fairly simple once you've had a round of play. And if you're a fan of the movie, it plays true to the story. It very much resembles Walking Dead Risk in this way: Being reminiscent of the story in the way the game unfolds. Players can choose to team up which has pros and cons or stay separate to achieve certain goals. In the end, it works out better if you're together (just like the movie!) and you have more choice when fighting the Elf King in the end. And yes, David Bowie's character replica also has a noticeable bulge. The game doesn't take long to get through, probably 20-40 minutes of play time depending one ages and attention to the game. All the pieces are well crafted and the level of skill required is fairly open. Lots of fan service in a way that's meaningful to the gameplay and all around fun for everyone. Jim Henson and Bowie would be proud.

I've played at a friend's so I'm familiar with the game already. It's a fun interactive game to play with friends. And it showed up a week sooner that expected.

I like that it is a Very authentic unique game, has a velvet inner box, character stand on own game pieces, the instruction booklet has in depth instructions and scenes from movie through out! I don’t dislike anything it is wonderful! I can even play just me!

This is a pretty fun game! It wasn't super easy for us to learn, we had to keep referring back to the instructions to figure out which and who's dice to roll. My daughter is experienced with D&D, so she picked it up a lot faster than the rest of us. You can tell that a lot of thought and time has gone into this game! All of our friends want to play it and plan on buying their own copy. It's well worth the purchase! We don't have the goblin expansion pack, so we didn't have enough characters for everyone at Thanksgiving, but everyone was interested and impressed at the quality.

Fun cooperative game -- surprisingly so, since I thought it would be nothing more than a marketing gimmick for the movie. Not too hard to learn (medium complexity, considering a 10-year-old and I were working together). Especially grand for "Labyrinth" movie fans ... I'm not sure it would have much meaning or be much fun to someone who isn't familiar with the movie. (Some tasks are won by reciting lines from the movie, etc.) The use of different dice is a great concept, but got confusing because the two of us were trying to play two characters each, as recommended for two players. High-quality cards and pieces: I would say it's worth the relatively expensive cost, again, especially if you're a fan of the movie.

Our family is a huge fan of the movie and this game is lots of fun to play! My daughter put it on her Christmas wishlist and she loves it! The figures are sturdy and my daughter also plans to paint them. Highly recommend!

This was a great board game, it did take 2 play throughs to understand the rules but if you are a fan of the movie it is pretty enjoyable. I also enjoyed the minatures that were provided. It was my first time painting and was a fun time to play with colorful characters.

This game is really fun. I bought this for my wife as she is a huge fan of the movie. There's a slight learning curve to the game, as there are many dice that different characters roll, but all in all, our first play through the game went very well. In contrast to many board games, you are not playing against your fellow players, but rather as a team trying to defeat the evil Jareth. Each player controls one of the four characters (Sarah, Hoggle, Didymus, and Ludo), and you navigate the labyrinth avoiding dangers while trying to find the way on. Since we only had two players, we each controlled two of the characters. The hazards are very thematic to the movie and it is a real pleasure if you're familiar with the film. One of the challenges involved reciting lines from the movie ("You remind me of a babe..."). My one complaint is that the final confrontation with Jareth is performed by Sarah alone, meaning only one player participates. This was only a minor problem, and overall, the game was very fun. The 5 character miniatures (four playable characters plus Jareth) are supplied unpainted, which may be a let down for some, but I enjoy painting miniatures, so it doesn't bother me.

ha cumplido mis espectativas, mi caso más por coleccionismo que para jugarlo. Pero es ideal para jugar en familia con niños.. es una mezcla entre una oca común con pinceladas de Roll.. y cosas guapas, que has tenido que ver la peli para contestar y ganar.. yo me quedé muy contento.. con respecto a que viene obvio en inglés, no importa demasiado.. Uno, porque así se práctica, que nunca está demás.m y Dos, porque ya han explicado como se juega en Youtube, en castellano !! Muy recomendable !!

Fantastic game!

Ottimo venditore, rapidissimo. Arrivato prima del previsto. Gioco molto carino per appassionati e conoscitori del film, moltissimo dipendente dalla fortuna ma per questo non semplice da vincere

The creators of this game did an amazing job. The art work, creativity and character game pieces are perfect. I'll need to look into painting the character pieces at some point. I was so excited to play the board game the day it arrived. After opening it looked super complicated but the instruction book was well laid out. We got ourselves set up and figured the rules out as we played. It is such a perfect idea you are racing against time to make it through the labrynth. I thought it would be a piece of cake, turned out I had to make a last ditch effort to save Tobi from being turned into a goblin in the final hour. Both my husband and I were impressed with the game he isn't a labrynth fan like I am, but he said would definitely play this game again. I bought a second game for a friends birthday gift, she and I are big big Labyrinth fans. This game will make her squeal with delight as her birthday parties theme is a Labyrinth masqarade ball. 🙂

Love the game, a great family one. Love the labrynth and characters.
