Labyrinth

Okay so today in class we played a simple puzzle board game known as Labyrinth. Now the basic concept of the game is you get a board and pieces assembled a certain way to form a what looked to be a maze. Now the rules are you get one extra piece of tile, 4 pieces to represent teams and you have to move the tile where in any spot where there are yellow arrows to show what areas can be moved now based on how you move will determine how far or fast you can get to your main objectives. Also each team gets a certain amount of cards with pictures on them to represent what treasures each team must get. I was partnered with Fabian, and in order for this to work we had to not only work together, but we also had to use our brains to determine a move to allow us to get to our objectives quicker. At first i didn't understand what i was doing because I'm not a puzzle person. This simple board game got us thinking, we started off slow but managed to follow behind the other teams which were ahead of us by either 1 or two cards. The game lasted a little longer than usual and no one really one, however the team that was close was Ruben and David's team, with fewer cards and by fewer, one. At the start I felt very confused and every time i managed to predict a move to help me and Fabian, it was countered. It's amazing how simple games like this can get me thinking and instead of using simple finger dexterity manages to get the mind thinking. I find it fascinating.
