About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a cosmic adventure in Space Maze, where you and your friends take on the roles of wacky alien species with a very clear objective: steal an ancient relic from a gigantic space structure! It's like an intergalactic 'capture the flag', but with a touch of humor and plenty of chaos. The game unfolds in a maze that changes every round, formed by primary-colored doors (red, blue, and yellow). The trick is that these colors combine to form secondary colors (green, orange, and purple), and each of your three aliens can only pass through doors that match their color. This means you'll have to manipulate the maze constantly, creating the right paths for your colorful critters. And when everyone starts to crowd together, things get fun! Players love to mess with each other, changing the maze in ways that can frustrate opponents (and get laughs from others). You can try to plan a perfect route, but an unexpected move from an adversary can turn everything upside down. Sometimes, spreading your chances is best, but who knows if a desperate dash won't pay off? It's a game that blends strategy with controlled chaos, perfect for those who enjoy laughing at their own misfortunes (and those of others!).
