Labyrinth is a board game designed in Germany in 1986, designed by psychologist Max Kobbert, and published by Ravensburger. It was originally published under the name 'Das verrückte Labyrinth', which in English was a pun translated to "THE aMAZEing LABYRINTH".
The board features a set number of tiles which are fixed to it, and the remaining loose tiles are placed in between the fixed pieces to create the labyrinth. Players move around the constantly changing maze in a race to collect their assigned treasures, and the first player to collect their treasures and return to the home space wins.
