Labyrinth Runner (2019)

In this in-hand, cards-only solo deck management game, you are a runner who went for a morning jog in the wrong labyrinth. Now, three doors and a rampaging Minotaur stand between you and the escape tunnel at the center of the maze. Your goal as the player is to find and discard all three door cards from the deck before you discard three Minotaur cards. Each turn, you'll choose to uncover either the left or right side of the next card in the deck, and the side you reveal will have a symbol that tells you whether you'll need to turn the card you moved before placing it back in the deck. Then choose one of two possible locations to place the card back in the deck, and repeat with the next card until you either escape...or fall to the Minotaur. With convenient in-hand play, simple but deep deck management, dynamically scaling difficulty, three game modes to try, and easy pausing, this is a deathtrap you'll never want to leave home without! This game was developed as an entry in the 2019 9 Card Game Print and Play Design Contest, where it won several awards, including: #2 Best Cards-Only Game #3 Most Innovative Mechanism #7 Best Solitaire Game —description from the designer
