This game is on my "wish list" but I also have to play "A Distant Plain"

An "Electronic" version no less:

Labyrinth: Family Game

This is a particular family favourite of mine, Labyrinth (see below):

I like thew quirky way the board terrain 'transforms' by the players sliding the tiles as part of their move. Wargaming designers take not of the interesting concept of the player transforming the terrain. Another point to note, I lost my "champion's crown" as my daughter won the last game!

Getting them started early: Labyrinth

I picked this up in a "Charity Shop" and thought 'this looks good' one for all the family (see below, note even the balsa tank in the background [that my youngest son had weathered up for me with a black crayon] did not help me win):

We got the family round the table and gave it a go. Early introduction to a bit of role playing (RPG) methinks and true to form the kids wiped the floor with me and my good wife. Something about agile little minds (plastic intelligence?) and old 'world-wise' minds crystallised in set patterns. I didn't stand a chance really.

"No dice" involved with threw me a critical blow as I could not just blame the dice or "get lucky"!
