Maze (1982)

About this game

A co-operative two player game that has the flavor of chess. Each player starts with two pieces, called "Mates", that s/he must exchange places with the other player. There are six other types of pieces with various moving powers. The challenge of the game is to figure how to move the other pieces out of the way so that the Mates can freely move.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
