This summer, Jim Henson’s classic 80s sci-fi film Labyrinth will have it’s own board game. Finally! The game is being developed by River Horse and The Jim Henson company. The 1986 movie starred David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly and it was the last film directed by Jim Henson.
Here’s some more specifics about the game, from Geekologie:
This is the maze that players must navigate every time they wish to save Sarah’s baby brother. Each game is different with the blank card spaces being filled with the magical encounters and monsters that are depicted on the deck of cards that comes with the game, this ensures a great deal of replayability and unpredictability in the game, giving the Labyrinth its signature feel.
The game consists of two distinct stages, one where the group must adventure through the labyrinth trying to find the goblin city whilst keeping their willpower as high as possible (nobody wants to fall into the oubliette!), and a second action-packed stage where the players must fight their way into Jareth’s castle where Sarah must say the magical words that will release her brother.
