The game takes players inside the global war on terror. Immersive game design has you leading the US to neutralize cells, maintain international support and encourage democratic reform. An extensive variety of card driven event combinations fuels Labyrinth’s asymmetrical design, creating deep complexity that unfolds with every turn while maintaining an ease of play that increases engagement with every decision. Labyrinth portrays the U.S. efforts to counter extremists’ tactics, as well as the wider ideological struggle – guerrilla warfare, regime change and more. Key Features: • Card Driven Mechanics – 120 event cards provide never ending combinations. The outcomes vary per round and take great effect on the flow of the conflict. • Asynchronous Online Multiplayer – The system allows for seamless competition from head to head – if both are available – to respond when ready, and longer matches based on timer settings per game. • Beginner’s Tutorials – Overview tutorials take you through the basics of playing the game.

I’ve been out of the loop on board games for a few years and didn’t even realize this was coming out!

Alex DeLargest Well-Known Member Dec 16, 2010 346 122 43 Male USA/France #5 Alex DeLargest, Oct 27, 2022 I’ve been working through the rule book and a couple of solitaire (bot) games. In some ways it seems less complicated than Twilight Struggle, but I yeah, I hear you. Many of the concepts are similar as far as how the cards can be played for operation points or for events, how the win conditions are tracked, etc. Though there is way more apparent asymmetry between the sides, not only in the win conditions but also in the available actions.
