Ep. 278: Labyrinth Skill Game Review (1940)
Maneuver the steel ball through the wooden maze without falling into any of the holes. The surface may have numerous tiny pits and bumps, making the behavior of the ball all the more erratic, but that arguably adds to the challenge. An unplugged precursor to video games.
The game was invented in the early 1940s by Sven Bergling in Tranås, Sweden. It was lent to Tage Friberg to pass time while he was sick. Tage later started a production of the game.

Used to spend many lunch hours in the school library with school mates in the late 80s in NZ playing this. A blast from the past.

[@BoardGameMuseumer]

Yeah, I have some memories playing this game as a kid too

[@boardgameman6298]

Great to see this game has survived the times!

[@BoardGameMuseumer]

Oh yes:)

[@ruth6471]

[@discountcodes]

I still have Labyrinth after all these years!

[@TimBitten]

I have two of these. I would play it at granny’s house every time I went over. I never beat it! So hard!!

[@BoardGameMuseumer]

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever beaten it either

[@cjmfebruary]

I have this game! Thanks for reviewing it!

[@ruth6471]

Great review!

[@RVsbladesnthangs]

[@ruth6471]

I am finally getting your notifications!

[@ruth6471]

I never heard of this game before!

[@BoardGameMuseumer]

It's a classic :)

[@Babs11285]

Cheater! LOL...you had me for second though. Haha....I tried this game last summer at someone's house and I never got it past about 25% of the course. I was working on it for about 45 mins too. I was getting frustrated so I stopped playing. lol

[@BoardGameMuseumer]

Ian have gotten halfway through once. It ain't easy!

[@JacobGforce]

For those who don’t have friends and love pain! (I can’t handle this kind of stress lol)

[@insaneboardgamefreakshow6852]

I love this game. I use to always play this in kindergarten. I still play this game and I still stink. 😄😄 To add on I'm not that bad but I can't get to the finish hole yet

[@nomaddicemaster119]

My cousin had this and we played this until my other little cousin stepped on it because he wanted to play something different

[@BoardGameMuseumer]

Well, that's certainly one way to end it:-)
