Labyrinthians_Beggars_Edition

This "beggar's edition" of Labyrinthians will have you adventure alone, in a group of up to four comrades or enemies through the endless Labyrinth beneath the Highlands of ancient Alhba (Scotland). This pocket-sized adventure will have you battling ancient Kings for magical weapons, facing down hordes of undead souls and beasts, haggling with the Hag o' the Winter for your very life, using the Labyrinth's everchanging passageways for your own advantage, whispering mystic incantations in old Gaelic, standing on the edge of the Eternal Chasm on the brink of being subsumed by Evil itself... and all in your lunch break!

This is the environmentally conscious version of the game - just the cards for those who would prefer to use their own dice and make their own character tokens, rune charms, use paperclips rather than the plastic clips used in the full version and upcycle an old bag (the type of velvet bag which often comes with cheap earrings is ideal.)

If you love the moody storytelling aspect of classic fantasy dungeon dives and roleplaying games, and easy rules that make for fast-flowing action thick with atmosphere, you will worship this game.

It is best played on an old wooden table under candlelight with a couple of riends, tankards of strong Scottish ale or mead and a couple of hours free for adventure. I have even composed a little music track to get you in the mood (https://app.box.com/shared/static/ktkrbi2dip0ukjwlxxh0p8vzfgi0l2z6.mp3)

For solo gamers, Labyrinthians is most fun still controlling two characters, one to come to your aid in moments of high peril, or even vie against you in a moment of merciless betrayal or greed. However, if you want to just journey solo then do not use the "thieve/repel" type incantation cards, or use these as miscasts or conjure up new rules to use them.

For those who want a longer game or want to enjoy Labyrinthians as a multi-session campaign, there are expansions to the core game: three new levels to the Labyrinth: the sewers, the earthen and magma levels; and three prequel wilderness campaigns: The Woodland Way, the Bogs of Moorh and the snowy path to The Secret Tree, which is the entrance to the Labyrinth.
