Description

Ventilation shafts: the dwarf can open ventilation shafts for all the heroes to move quickly from one end of it to the other. You don’t waste an evening because of a crossed wire – if anything you make the game evening better because while Magic Maze does offer a satisfying puzzle it’s really just an engine for making people laugh. I will touch up briefly on a Solo Game at the end of the section but for now will stick to a four-player variant. The task for the players is to navigate these pawns through this mall to the squares that contain the items they’re looking to steal.

The visible confusion as they look back and forth over the characters, wondering what they’ve missed, but unable to ask anyone for help. One sheet of stickers to stick on the Hero pawns (if you wish) which allows people with altered colour perception to recognise them. They’re one use only though, and every time you use one you cover it with a little cross that ticks off your future options.Throughout the mall, you’ll find treasure appraisers, a vampire daycare as well as a couple of kids playing Magic Maze. It’s already a tense game and is made even more tense when someone is hammering that big pawn on the table in front of you.

Your goal is to get all four characters to their special equipment spaces, then get them out of the mall through the exits. When a Hero Pawn is placed either at the foot or peak of an Escalator Space then you may move the Hero Pawn up or down accordingly. Working together we need to uncover the map, get the characters their items, and escort them all to the exit.The limitations; firstly each player can only move the characters in a limited direction / with limited actions. The great thing about using them (other than getting more time that is) is that you are allowed to talk. I’m not prepared to sacrifice it in exchange for the frustration, however comical, of missed opportunities. I think though that all that will happen is that my experience would intensify and that’s not an appealing prospect.

The job is made a little more complicated by the fact that only certain coloured pawns can do certain things – only the green pawn can explore from a green passage, only the red pawn can go through tiny doors, and only the yellow pawn can disable security cameras.

Hanabi, Hive, Love Letter, and more have all come under criticism for greater or lesser offences against our sensibilities.

Here are some of our more lighthearted things to show we're not all about the Serious Business of games. Sometimes it’s when the game stops showing you anything new – when you’ve got the feel of the thing nailed down and no surprises are left to be revealed.The fact remains that, even in the midst of longevity concerns, I have played Magic Maze sixteen times, and I haven’t lost interest yet. It’s a pretty neat little game really, it takes next to know time to set up and about 5-10 minutes for a play through. You can vary the difficulty with the number of tiles in the maze that you are exploring and during the game the tension is incredible.
