Review: Labyrinth: The Forever War from GMT Games - The Players' Aid

[@sentient02970]

Labyrinth is an amazing puzzle of a game. These expansions keep it fresh and continuingly challenging. Thanks guys for another great take on this evolving classic.

[@charliesmith5783]

I love how you guys always have the "I've been gaming for hours eyes" when doing your reviews it makes the review feel more authentic as I always have the same thing after playing wargames

Play the three deck campaign, but use the Optional Victory Condition rules: "The first to complete all three of your conditions, or most completed, wins the campaign". Gives you time to work through all the decks. I win most of my solo games via 12 Resources. The three deck campaign forces me to get 15 countries and/or eliminate all cells. Good stuff. p.s. boardgamerants just posted a solo review. Labyrinth is in the air. I'm trying to convince him to keep playing it. p.p.s. Labyrinth is my #1 solo game.

“You’re so obtuse, that you don’t see the hammer coming... but when you win, you’re so sneaky that I don’t see the hammer coming.” :D

Please, Pleeaassse do the whole campaign including the two expansions and record it as Grant suggested. It would be so interesting how it winds up. How the previous expansion affects the new one. Nice to see how it compares with reality.

[@johnsy4306]

If you look at the box spine, you can tell when the game was first published. For the three-inch Labyrinth box, if you look at the code towards the bottom, it will say 1012-16. This means this was the twelfth game released in the year 2010 and the -16 is to indicate the second edition in 2016.

[@drewkennewell4267]

New Labyrinth player here. I loooooove that game so much. I have both expansions, but haven't yet implemented Forever War.

[@funkyskunkvids]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Grant's arms??

[@2ManyHobbies16]

Man you guys are messing up my Covid-19 board game budget with all these awesome reviews lol Another great one guys thanks

[@MichaelKotsarinis]

Nice review! I only own the first installment (2001-?) but sadly it hasn't seen much action. Maybe it's time to revisit it!

[@TheChaplainMO]

I’m an Axis and Allies guy, but I liked and subscribed your channel because I got Labyrinth for Christmas last year... still trying to figure it out!! 🤣😬😅

[@ThePlayersAid]

If you have specific questions feel free to ask!

[@TheChaplainMO]

@@ThePlayersAid I’ve watched how-to videos and read the rules 20 times... I ‘know’ it, just can’t seem to put it into practice 🤣🤣 I’ll set it up and try again, see if I can’t get some specific questions for ya. Thanks!

[@ThePlayersAid]

@@TheChaplainMO Are you playing solo? I will say it's much easier to leatn with another person as the two sides play entirely differently and use wildly different tactics.

[@TheChaplainMO]

@@ThePlayersAid yes, I’ve only ever been able to play solo

rubber bands around card decks.. TRIGGERED

[@ThePlayersAid]

You're not wrong.

[@gotz2410]

That's why I always use the box the sleeves come in to store cards lol

[@tomgustafson3464]

@@ThePlayersAid get some Hugo's Amazing Tape.

[@alo9409]

"Card Angst" .......!

[@clipana]

Good to hear that the box is big enough..Grant?

[@mister10x54]

love this game great video greets from germany. i play this solo most of the time its really great, however twilight struggle is up there too xD

[@vinylrabbit7295]

unfortunately true to GMT the Awakening expansion is out of print, so anyone that hasnt gotten Awakening cannot get this expansion. Seems a bit ridiculous that they would release this addon without an Awakening reprint.

[@michaelcoughlan5727]

this is the best game

[@judyhopps9380]

how long does an average game of labyrinth take? It looks very twilight struggle

[@ThePlayersAid]

Similar length of time, but also similarly you can lose early with bad play.

[@johnsy4306]

Have you guys done The Last Hundred Yards yet? I see it behind you

[@ThePlayersAid]

Yeah if you search our channel we reviewed it a while back.

[@JRNAtrisTwothirteen]

Great video; great videos! Anyone notice, you guys happened to dress like your logo? Even the lean Ty for all the content.

[@Demy1970]

The computer version is the same for the most part? Love your videos

[@ThePlayersAid]

It's only the base gamr

[@Demy1970]

@@ThePlayersAid thanks guys

[@Joaquim.Oliveira]

How solo friendly is it ? Thx guys , ur reviews are top notch !!!!

[@drewkennewell4267]

Very solo friendly. The bot that comes in the base game is okay, but there's a more realistic, improved and simplified bot included in The Awakening expansion.

[@mycroft8344]

You should make a video of you guys playing a game.

[@evildrganymede]

I'm not sure I want any reminder of 2016-2020 current affairs in a game that's already pretty traumatic to play. :P

[@angioman64]

Please tell me you don’t use elastic bands to keep your cards together. I urge you to put them into ziplock bags instead. I’ve had some horror stories with elastic bands.

[@ilqrd.6608]

Nah, vinyl tape is much better

[@ThePlayersAid]

This is the only game.. which is weird because I also hate it. Ot has been remedied. For a while I only had the 2 inch box so the card were stored elsewhere.

[@horrido666]

Using rubber bands will ruin the cards. They put indentations in the top and bottom cards, which marks them. Use plastic baggies. Once you get the right sized baggies, you'll see the light.
