Mino & Tauri

searching the labyrinth

Mino and Tauri are cheeky little aliens from planet Kreton and love to create corn circles. Their space ship has crashed in a corn maze, however, and the have lost twelve item that they need to collect to be able to fly home.

Six items are to be found on each side of the vertical labyrinth boards, on all of the four plans which come in four different levels of difficulty. Mino and Tauri are connected magnetically, if you move one of them, the other is moving automatically in the same directions. The active player can move a piece only along the paths, but the piece on the other side might move through plant obstacles and thus reach regions of the board otherwise inaccessible to it. You turn up an item which must be found; depending on the chosen game mode it must be found either by the players determined by color markings on the card or by those players designated for the current round by the rules. Each player is in charge of moving one piece, and players can confer about the next move. Players are allowed to plan their moves together. When the timer has run out, you score for items found. In the cooperative game, you score the points in three rounds and the score is valid for all players; in the competitive mode, you win if you found most items in six rounds, playing with varying partners. Mino & Tauri provide fantastic fun for kids with the magnetic effect and the joint movement, but the game also works well as a family game; the cooperative planning of the optimum routes in the runtime of the timer is simply fun, and the boards in varying degrees of difficulty offer lots of variety.
