The Labyrinth of the Rings is a board game for two to four players, which is an extension of the game The Crazy Labyrinth and how this supports spatial thinking. The game was first published by Ravensburger in 1998 and was created by the perceptual psychologist and game designer Max Kobbert .

content

The game includes a game board with eight ring parts that are placed in three rings on the game board. It also contains 4 pawns , 18 secret cards, a die (2 sides 2, 3 and 4 each) and 4 duel sets consisting of scissors, stone and paper. Instructions are included with the game.

Rules and goal

Of the 18 secret cards, 7 are “treasures”, another 7 are “trolls” and the last 4 are “mythical animals”. During the game, one card is always placed face up and its counterpart must then be reached on the game board. Whoever reaches this goal first receives the card and the next card is revealed. The winner of the game is whoever is the first to collect either 6 treasures or 6 trolls. The mythical beasts can be used either to place your figure on any space or to steal a card from another player. The mythical animal is used up and taken out of the game.

A move consists of two shifts and then moving your own piece. When moving, the middle ring, or one of the two outer rings, can be moved clockwise by one raster step. The middle ring must not be turned twice in the same move. After the movements, the player can move his figure to any space that is directly connected to his space.

A special feature of this version is that players can enter duels with other players by landing on their field. These duels are decided by means of scissors, stone, and paper , for which purpose the duel sets are to be used. The player who initiates the duel can decide whether to play for treasures or trolls. He can also decide whether to play only for one or for several. If more than one is being played, one roll of the enclosed die decides how many are played. If the loser has less than the agreed number, he gives up all he has.
