Ready to amp up the cooperative chaos of Magic Maze? This expansion, "9 new tiles," brings a breath of fresh air to your frantic maze. It introduces nine brand-new tiles that will further scramble your experience, creating entirely new and challenging layouts. Some of these goodies are only compatible with the "Maximum Security" expansion, so pay attention if you already own that gem. Tiles marked with 'E' and 'D' also appeared in issue #102 of Plato magazine, for all you collectors out there. But don't worry, tiles 'A', 'B', 'C', and 'H' work perfectly fine without that dependency. All the new tiles share the same back as the "Maximum Security" expansion and are a nice shade of red, matching the game's aesthetic. This addition is perfect for those who have already mastered the base maze and want more real-time challenges, keeping the limited communication and the tension sky-high. Get ready to race against the clock, coordinate with your friends (without talking too much!), and unravel these crazy new paths. It's the extra shot of adrenaline your Magic Maze sessions have been missing! ## How to Play Objective of the Game Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre esta seção. Preparação (Setup) Twinples Figurines These artisanal figurines of the four heroes replace the wooden pawns provided in the base game. Note that these figurines are incompatible with the rings used for certain spells in Maximum Security (module 10). "Do Something!" T-Shirt If you are wearing this T-shirt while playing Magic Maze, in addition to using the "Do Something!" pawn in the usual way, you can pound your chest energetically like Tarzan while staring at the player whose attention you want. Roundabout Tile Add this tile to the Mall tile deck. Tile A Add this tile to the Mall tile deck. Tile B Add this tile to the Mall tile deck. Tiles D & E Replace tile 29 with D and E.

Tile H Add this tile to the Mall tile deck. Tile I Add this tile to the Mall tile deck. Tile C Add this tile to the Mall tile deck. Fluxo do Jogo Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre esta seção. Ações e Como Jogar Roundabout Tile Movement This tile limits the movement of the pawns: Wherever two spaces are connected by an arrow, the pawns can only move between them in the direction of the arrow, and never the other way. You are still allowed to move normally between spaces that do not have an arrow between them. Tile A Difficulty This tile increases the difficulty of the game by adding a Security Camera you may need to destroy, according to the normal Security Camera rules. Tile B Exploration This labyrinthine tile requires many manipulations to explore it from every side. Tiles D & E Sensor Control Each of these tiles contains a Sensor Control space that permits you to rotate the Sensor token clockwise (on tile D) or counterclockwise (on tile E). This means that you can no longer rotate the Sensor token both directions from a single Sensor Control space. Tile F Helpful Spaces This tile provides a number of helpful spaces, assuming you make wise use of the Code spaces available on the other tiles to access them: a Sand Timer space, a Control Room space, a Crystal Ball space, and a Code space. Tile G Auto-Explore This tile provides three Auto-Explore spaces that follow the rules of Maximum Security module 7; however, in order to gain access to them, you will need to use a Ventilation Shaft. Tile H Gathering Point This tile is a convenient gathering point, which all the heroes can quickly reach through the Vortex. But there are no corridors into or out of it, so you will need to use a Ventilation Shaft or Wall Breach. Tile I Ventilation Shaft Access This tile provides an access point for each of the two Ventilation Shafts. As a result, once a pair of Ventilation Shaft tokens has been added to the board, a hero on one of them can move either to the other Ventilation Shaft token, or to the pre-printed Ventilation Shaft space on this tile, at least once this tile has been explored, and vice versa. Tile C Dwarf's Shortcuts This tile makes the dwarf the star of the show by offering two directions to explore, and two shortcuts (small passages through the orange walls) he would be delighted to employ.
