I’ve only played the original one, Master Labyrinth and also the junior version. I might try the card game!

The “first”/original version from the 1980s.

[Pledgemanager for Shovel Knight: Dungeon Duels](https://pandacultgames.pledgemanager.com/projects/shovel-knight-dungeon-duels/participate/) is now live!

- $40 for 2D version (standees only)
- $70 for 3D version

And you can get add-ons.

Note: Shipping will be charged later. Pledgemanager stays open until when production starts, possibly in December. [Source](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pandacultgames/shovel-knight-dungeon-duels-0/posts/2629516)

It would be very expensive. But if you don’t want to paint them yourself you can always pay somebody to do it.

This is how the work of professional a painter looks like 🤪:

I know this topic was more about point’n’click related board games so here we go:

[Panda Cult Games](https://pandacultgames.com/), the makers of [Shovel Knight: Dungeon Duels](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pandacultgames/shovel-knight-dungeon-duels-0/description) also kickstarted another board game not too long ago:  
[Wander: The Cult of Barnacle Bay](https://pandacultgames.mybigcommerce.com/wander-the-cult-of-barnacle-bay/) ([Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pandacultgames/wander-the-cult-of-barnacle-bay))

They had planned an expansion called [LaCluck’s Revenge](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1852205/laclucks-revenge-details) with a boss called:  
_LaCluck - Ghost Pirate Chicken Lord_. She has a drumstick peg leg. And a ghost pirate crew. 👻

I recently watched an interview of [Bill Tiller](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/interviews-videos-with-game-devs/4387/4) and somebody mentioned he owns [Haunted Mansion Game (1972)](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5893/haunted-mansion-game).

Looking this up led me to a much more recent board game: **[Scooby-Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion (2020)](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/302344/scooby-doo-escape-haunted-mansion)**.

It’s basically Maniac Mansion / SCUMM!  
[![](https://cf.geekdo-images.com/original/img/l76HASrpOJqyKKEOzssDDX9lsF8=/0x0/pic5528230.jpg) ](https://cf.geekdo-images.com/original/img/l76HASrpOJqyKKEOzssDDX9lsF8=/0x0/pic5528230.jpg)

- You have multiple rooms.
- You collect inventory items.
- You can use those items on objects in the rooms.
- There are multiple characters (it’s a co-op game).
- You have multiple verbs (each character has its own, e.g. Scooby-Doo can _smell_, Velma can _research_ etc.).

(I’ve learned this from watching this video: [How to Play video by Tantrum House](https://youtu.be/Ex4Vxy7tMuE))

Also see:

> [@The original unreleased Maniac Mansion board game](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/the-original-unreleased-maniac-mansion-board-game/428):

> Does the concept for this original game still exist? Or did it went the way of the lego pirate ship? Would it have been close to a potentially releaseable state? Or would it be no fun to play after the original rules? Maybe if you tweaked it a bit, could a fan made version maybe be a non commercial project for the future? This sounds interesting.

… which already made it as a SCUMM (like) game on the Sega Megadrive/Genesis:

Oh, very interesting! Art-style is DOTT-like (including car intro) and there is even an Indy3 catacombs section and a Full Throttle stock car racing minigame!

Also: fifty-character passwords, yikes!

That looks pretty cool. Reminds me of this board game I used to have in the 80’s:

![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/f/fcd0012db672423fe3c8d9160745f06d86282897.jpeg)

It was really fun. The little treasure chests actually open and have little paper pictures of cobwebs or gold, or shirts that say “I found a treasure chest and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”…

But maybe I’m misremembering that last part.

OK, not quite _this_ year, but **this** year:  
The [Kickstarter campgain for Wander: LaCluck’s Revenge](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pandacultgames/wander-laclucks-revenge) is now live!

It’s (still) not really adventure game related. A cooperative board game, likely very similar to [Wander: The Cult of Barnacle Bay (2019) [BGG]](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/232134/wander-cult-barnacle-bay).

Just found your post I somehow missed back then. I won that game in a costume contest as a kid, and I was the ghost. I played that game a lot with friends.  
A pity, they didn’t even try to translate “Das verrückte Labyrinth” to English. With just “Labyrinth”, people would confuse it with other titles for sure.
