Lynnvander Studios Minotaur - Lynnvander Studios, Work Together to Break The Minotaur's Curse & Escape The Maze in This Cooperative 8-Bit Board Game, 1-4 Players, 45 Minute Playing Time, Ages 14+

This little game is fun and quick. The rules are simple, but the game takes a good amount of strategy. It is pretty difficult; I came close to winning on my first playthrough, but got smashed by the traps and the minotaur at the last minute; a very climactic ending. The game is played by leading 2 to 4 adventurers through an ever-changing labyrinth, trying to find the pieces of three magical medallions to seal the minotaur and take the treasure. Along the way, they must fight monsters and find treasures to help them. The minotaur can appear out of nowhere, so they must always be on their toes. The components are good quality, and the 8-bit art is charming.

The rules are easy to learn. The game is easy to set up. This is a great diversion, or a game between more significant games on game day. I really like it. It follows the theme very well. You will definitely enjoy playing it.

Pretty good game if you've got some time to delve into the details. It's simple fun, and has some interesting elements. It's not quite ranked as high in my family as some of our go-to group games, like Zombie Dice, Forbidden Island, Left-Right-Center, Last Night on Earth, or Castle Panic, but it's still pretty good.

This has a lot of innovative mechanics and I found it very intriguing and interesting to play- which says a lot because I am easily distracted. While I've only played through it once so far, I can certainly see myself playing it more when the weather is crummy.

It's fun and cute little game. The shifting keeps it interesting.

Good quality components, VERY hard solo/co-op game. Combines RPG and strategy with for a challenge. I've played it about 6 times so far, and still haven't won 😅 The product itself is 5/5 The game is like a 7/10 Worth a try if you dig the theme!

I really wanted to like this game. I really like the dungeon crawling mechanic. Although the art style isn't very advanced, there's something charming about the pixelated design. However the rules are very vague about some things. My group still isn't sure how to handle some aspects of combat. Also, the simplicity of the game along with the co-op nature of the game leads to less individual choice and more groupthink, which isn't as fun if you want immersion. Some of the classes in the game are borderline useless, which isn't fun. I will admit that of the two times I played with friends, we didn't finish either game. I feel like a second edition of this game would be really cool. Maybe going back and reworking the instructions and some of the classes.

Kind of like Oregon Trail or Pandemic in the fact that there's a good chance you'll die. But lots of fun and feels great to win
