River Horse Labyrinth The Movie Board Game

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. 🙂

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.

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

Very high quality material and the game is fun, although it gets repetitive after a few games. Better to play with new people every time

Not a particularly complicated game, but a great introduction to more complex stuff for kids. My 9 year old niece absolutely loves it. It takes about an hour to set up and play, and the rules are easy enough for kids to get stuck in straight away. For older fans of the film, there’s enough little touches that will keep you happy and make up for the game’s simplicity. The board, cards, and figures are all well made, and the artwork is lovely. Highly recommended.
