Mini Games - Logic Labyrinth (ML)

The whole table holds its breath, cards still face down, every finger ready to flip them: at the signal, it's a race to piece together the genie's torn treasure map! In Logic Labyrinth, a fast-paced game for 2 to 4 players, you roll the die to draw path cards, then everyone flips them at the same time and lays them edge to edge so the route carries on from card to card. When the genie shows up on the die, an assignment card dictates the exact path to build. The quickest player grabs the richest treasure card, but beware of mistakes: a badly placed card goes back to the center of the table. After four rounds, whoever has collected the most treasure wins the game.

Logic Labyrinth is for you if you like quick brainteasers, observation challenges and 10 to 15 minute games that make you want to play again right away. The rules are simple, which makes it a good pick for family play with kids ages 6 and up, or for a little logic duel between friends in between two other games.

This little game, released in 2012, is also known as Labyrinthe du génie in its French rulebook and by its German title Sesam, puzzle dich!

Logic Labyrinth was created by Joyce Johnson and Karen Hanke, with illustrations by Thies Schwarz.

HOW TO PLAY LOGIC LABYRINTH (RULES SUMMARY)
Goal: build a continuous path with your cards faster than everyone else to snatch the most treasure over four rounds.
Setup: pile the path cards face down, pile the assignment cards face down in a separate stack, and place one fewer treasure card than the number of players in the center.
A round: the youngest player rolls the die. On a 3, 4 or 5, everyone draws that many path cards. On the genie, flip an assignment card and everyone draws the number of cards it shows.
At the signal, everyone flips their cards and lays them edge to edge so the path continues from card to card. With the genie, the route must match the assignment card exactly.
The quickest player takes the treasure card showing the most treasure, the second takes the next one, and so on. Then everyone checks together: whoever made a mistake puts their card back in the center.
End of the game: after four rounds, whoever has the most treasure wins. In case of a tie, there are several winners.

What if my cards just won't fit together?
You can discard as many cards as you like at any time and draw the same number of new ones.

What happens when someone makes a mistake?
The treasure card goes back to the center. The player who finished last and took nothing can then choose one of them, even if they did not finish their path.
