Library Labyrinth

Build a team of amazing fictional and historical women to put escaped literary horrors back in their books! Can the Lady of Shalott defeat Dracula? Or Heidi and Ada Lovelace overcome a Kraken? Can Nzinga and Mary Seacole deal with the Martian Robots from War of the Worlds?

Library Labyrinth is a co-operative board game set in a library. It plays in about 45 minutes and is for 1 to 5 players. You can buy a copy by clicking the link directly below.
