Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a quick, low-complexity strategy session may hit a wall as the card combinations and decisions accumulate.
- Players looking for symmetric factions may find the different US and Jihadist objectives a poor fit.
- Players seeking a campaign with multiple playable sides in single-player may be limited by the US-only solo role.
Our take on Labyrinth: The War on Terror
The likely bounce point is the turn-by-turn decision load: the 120-card event system creates changing combinations, and players seeking a low-complexity opening may find that system demanding before the conflict's broader strategic structure clicks.
What is Labyrinth: The War on Terror?
Labyrinth: The War on Terror is a strategy game about the US response to extremist groups and the wider ideological conflict, including guerrilla warfare, regime change, and fundamentalist rule.
In two-player campaigns, one player leads the Jihadists while the other plays the US, working to neutralize terrorist cells and encourage democratic reform. A single-player mode puts the player in the US role against al-Qaeda and its allies. Play is driven by 120 event cards, whose combinations and outcomes change the conflict from round to round. Asynchronous online multiplayer lets opponents take turns when available, with match length governed by timer settings. Tutorials cover the basics of playing both sides.
