Terrific Toys - Minotaurus by LEGO

My son had this game for several years, but we never really played with it until recently. And boy was I surprised at how wonderful Minotaurus is!



The goal of this game is to get two out of three people to the matching colored area of the secret/sacred temple to win the game.



Each player rolls the dice and either he/she can move people matching the number rolled on the dice or move pieces according to the color square rolled.

  • Black - Move the Minotaur eight spaces. If Minotaur captures people, people must return to the start position.
  • Gray - Move one gray blocking wall from the edge of the game board to any place in the labyrinth.
  • Green (this is optional) - Allows the people to jump over hedges (green LEGO pieces) and move three spaces.


The best part of the game is...it encourages people to change the rules. YOUR GAME - YOUR RULES. That's what it says in the rules book, and we've been changing the rules since we rediscovered this game. Sometimes, it's almost as if there are no rules!



Let your creativity kick into gear and drive other players crazy by coming up with all kinds of rules.

We had a lot of fun moving the gray walls around all over the labyrinth. Blocking the starting point. Blocking the temple entrance. Etc.

Enjoy!
