Use of the phrase last century is rather depressing...

No shit.  I'm stuck in the 1980s man.

Woot!   Held on for a victory in Labyrinth through the 2nd deck.   Came 1 short of an auto-victory, but that was really never a possibility.  I got my last 5 "good" resources really late in the game.  Could have easily lost this with a few bad rolls or jihadist events.

I tried out Terraforming Mars at the FLGS today.  It's a pretty interesting game.  Not one I think I'll pick up for myself but I'll definitely give it another go if it hits the table.



While we were playing, a couple game in with some used games they wanted to put on consignment.  One of the games was a virtually untouched copy of GMT's Labyrinth (guy said they tried it once and shelved it) for $40.  It's mine now!!!!

for $40, hell yeah!  Great find :)

$40 Canadian dollars even.  (If I weren't paid in the stupid things, it'd be even better!)

Hey - that was a GARPA game!

And a good one.  For a game with just one scenario It has quite a bit of replay value.  Also, the rules are pretty easy to grasp once you play a few turns.  A good wargame introduction game.

I actually looked at this the other day, but like you I don't really feel any need to own a copy.  I'd love to play it, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

At first glance and having never heard of this game before this one looks like AH Turning Point Stalingrad.  Only set in the Pacific Theater.
