What is Magic Maze

Description from the publisher:

After being stripped of all their possessions, a mage, a warrior, an elf, and a dwarf are forced to go rob the local Magic Maze shopping mall for all the equipment necessary for their next adventure. They agree to map out the labyrinth in its entirety first, then find each individual’s favorite store, and then locate the exit. In order to evade the surveillance of the guards who eyed their arrival suspiciously, all four will pull off their heists simultaneously, then dash to the exit. That's the plan anyway…but can they pull it off?

Magic Maze is a real-time, cooperative game. Each player can control any hero in order to make that hero perform a very specific action, to which the other players do not have access: Move north, explore a new area, ride an escalator… All this requires rigorous cooperation between the players in order to succeed at moving the heroes prudently. However, you are allowed to communicate only for short periods during the game; the rest of the time, you must play without giving any visual or audio cues to each other. If all of the heroes succeed in leaving the shopping mall in the limited time allotted for the game, each having stolen a very specific item, then everyone wins together.

At the start of the game, you have only three minutes in which to take actions. Hourglass spaces you encounter along the way give you more time. If the sand timer ever completely runs out, all players lose the game: Your loitering has aroused suspicion, and the mall security guards nab you!

Divertido y loco pero lo acabé vendiendo. Es imposible que mi grupo este callado y nos concentremos.

I wish the pawns to be made of another material, at least heavier than just wood. They just simply fall down at any touch and lifting them up makes you disconnect from the game. The game is pretty cool but sometimes it gives the feeling that something is missing, I don't know what exactly it is, it could be the pieces or some relief on the tiles. The feeling of the hourglass acting as a pursuing guard doesn't make sense either, I think there should have been a 5th player controlling the guard or something. Don't expect to replay this game a lot. Just a casual one to be played with new peopl

La mecánica del juego es original, es simpático, muy rejugable, pero no es para mí. Los juegos contra reloj no son lo mío

Do you want to absolutely resent each other? Play this game. Not really great with 2. Can be fun with 4, but needs the right group and right mood.
