When does Carcassonne Labyrinth release?
It releases into retail in December 2026, according to ICv2. Neither publisher has announced a specific day in December. Ravensburger lists the game at 29.99 pounds on its UK store, where it is currently shown as out of stock ahead of release.
How does it play?
Players shift the labyrinth by pushing tiles into the maze, opening paths to treasures, and then use the tiles pushed out of the labyrinth to build cities and roads in their own Carcassonne landscape. Ravensburger describes it as a standalone game, not a simple combination of the two classics: every turn you draw a landscape tile and insert it into the labyrinth, move your meeple toward the treasure shown on your card, and add discovered tiles to your personal landscape to extend roads and complete cities. The player who moves most cleverly through the maze and builds most skillfully wins.
