Description

A maze that you assemble

The name points to the Greek myth of the beast in the labyrinth, which a hero has to find and then outwit. In this set it becomes a game whose board you put together from 224 pieces. Because the paths are made of bricks, every game depends on how you build it, and you can rearrange the walls later. The assembly does not take long, and the many repeated elements make it manageable even for younger children who are still getting used to following building steps. If you want more variety, simply rebuild the paths after the first round and every new game feels different.

Lime and clear

The colour mix is unusual. Lime and green sit next to light bluish grey and transparent elements, so the board looks brighter and friendlier than you might expect from a maze, almost like a small garden. With only 37 different element types the set is very straightforward. The trans-clear pieces are a nice bonus for builders, since they work well for windows, lighting effects and crystals in models of your own. They are just as handy for ice or water in landscapes.

Play it, then change it

With no minifigures, the focus stays entirely on the game. It suits a round at the table and stores flat on a shelf afterwards without taking much space. If you like, you can rebuild the maze and invent new rules, because all the bricks are already in your hands. It is not really meant as a pure display piece. Its appeal lies in playing and in tinkering with the layout, and it works as well alone as with several players.

Keeping track of the parts

The parts list on this page shows each element with colour and quantity, which helps when you check a used copy for completeness or want to buy a few missing bricks individually. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which models come out of Minotaurus combined with your own bricks. The lime and transparent elements are the ones most often wanted for projects of your own, because many sets include them only in small numbers.
