Review: It's sealed an delivered with care - I've played at a friend's so I'm familiar with the game already. It's a fun interactive game to play with friends. And it showed up a week sooner that expected.
Review: Fight Bowie's bulge with you friends! - This is a really fantastic game. If you've ever played Dungeons and Dragons and Forbidden Island/Desert, this is almost like a mashup of the two. The game plays out pretty much with players trying to get closer to each other and "improving" their character's traits without getting knocked out of the game. Rules seem complex at the start but actually work out to be fairly simple once you've had a round of play. And if you're a fan of the movie, it plays true to the story. It very much resembles Walking Dead Risk in this way: Being reminiscent of the story in the way the game unfolds. Players can choose to team up which has pros and cons or stay separate to achieve certain goals. In the end, it works out better if you're together (just like the movie!) and you have more choice when fighting the Elf King in the end. And yes, David Bowie's character replica also has a noticeable bulge. The game doesn't take long to get through, probably 20-40 minutes of play time depending one ages and attention to the game. All the pieces are well crafted and the level of skill required is fairly open. Lots of fan service in a way that's meaningful to the gameplay and all around fun for everyone. Jim Henson and Bowie would be proud.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the age range for this game?**
A: The box reads six and up. However, my fire year old sat for nearly three hours while we played this game, only periodically getting up to get a candy cane off the Christmas tree and stuff like that.

**Q: What is a good paint to use for the plastic figures?**
A: Acrylic model paints should work fine as long as you give them a good coat of primer first. Otherwise the paint will flake off.

**Q: What size are the characters?**
A: Between 1.5” to 2” tall depending on the figure. There are also deluxe figures available standing 6” tall

**Q: Do you paint the player pieces?**
A: The pieces are not painted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun game for fans of labyrinth
*by P***1 on July 26, 2023*

This was a great board game, it did take 2 play throughs to understand the rules but if you are a fan of the movie it is pretty enjoyable. I also enjoyed the minatures that were provided. It was my first time painting and was a fun time to play with colorful characters.
