Dédale

About this board game

Dédale is a cooperative game for 1–4 players that takes about 15 minutes to play. Together, players help the famous architect Daedalus lock the Minotaur inside an inextricable labyrinth.

Each turn, players place cards in the center of the table to create a labyrinth. The group must work toward the objective set by the current challenge, carefully building the maze before the available cards run out.

Dédale includes 10 original challenges with progressive difficulty. This gives the game a clear series of obstacles to overcome, as players attempt to fulfill each challenge in time while shaping the labyrinth for the Minotaur.

The game’s central task is simple to understand but focused in execution: place cards, develop the labyrinth, and complete the challenge before there are no cards left. Its cooperative format makes the shared goal the heart of every game.

Dédale was created in partnership with the Alchimie du jeu festival of Toulouse for its 2024 edition, whose theme was mythology. A portion of the profits from each sale is donated to the festival, connecting the game to the event that inspired its creation.
