Labyrinthine (board game)

A second printing used the same artwork on a yellow cover but used a more professional title font and added the words "Wee Warriors".

But while Citadel used a map composed of six large tiles pre-printed with rooms and hallways, Labyrinthine took the concept a step further by using dozens of smaller tiles to create rooms and hallways,[3] thereby becoming "the first fully modular dungeon-crawl game.

"[1] Arnaudo credits Labyrinthine as an important stepping stone to more advanced "dungeon crawlers" such as The Sorcerer's Cave (1978) and The Mystic Wood (1980), which both use terrain tiles to create the board.

[3] A group of adventurers must enter the dungeon of an Evil Wizard in order to rescue a princess.

Since they are only printed on paper, the rulebook suggests that all of these should be glued to cardstock to make them sturdier and easier to pick up.

He also noted that once the dungeon was set up, the Hero player could easily and instantly see the shortest path to the Princess.
