Rascals, the makers of The Crystal Maze Board Game and the Mr & Mrs Board Game, is pleased to announce the release of The Crystal Maze Eastern Zone Mini Game.
Players can pit their wits and cunning against friends and family with this all-new set of skill, physical, mystery and mental challenges designed with replayability in mind, so they can be enjoyed again and again.
This special themed edition can be played independently or used as a booster pack for last years The Crystal Maze Board Game, adding the new zone to your tabletop adventure. So this Christmas you can have all new disagreements with your loved ones after the turkey.
It comes with a replacement zone board which is double-sided so you can replace any of the four originals if you're missing Medieval and, for example, aren't fond of Futuristic.
Suitable for ages 10 and up, and for 2 - 6 players, The Crystal Maze Eastern Zone Mini-Game is available from September 2019 from Next, WHSmith, and Amazon
The Crystal Maze Board Game is also available from John Lewis, Amazon, and in-store at WHSmith.
so technically DLC. At least they have updated the board game to reflect series development.
ReplyDeleteDLC that doesn't really require the base game. Its the RDR: Undead Nightmare of board games.
DeleteHi, a big Crystal Maze fan here.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how the new Eastern zone would affect the app timer - where there be an updated version released?
I'm thinking of buying the main board game (and then the Eastern zone add on). How many games are included in the main board game version - am I right in thinking 16 (one of each game type for each zone)? I know they have multiple solutions, but have many of these games do you play in one full game?
On a seperate note am I right in thinking there are still 3 unbroadcast episodes from series 1 of the new version which have been shown in Australia but not here? Will they ever be shown here given the new zone? Thanks!
Hi here, the app timer update is being considered but not guaranteed. You play at least 2 games per zone. Yes there are still 3 unbroadcast episodes there's no indication from C4 or the producers that these will be shown. I believe they were chopped as people were getting bored seeing the same games.
ReplyDeleteWe will let you know as soon as the Eastern Zone Expansion is out. Expect September time. we are being sent a few copies to review.
ReplyDeleteC4 also messed up the scheduling as well, thats why the series wasn't consistent to start off with.
ReplyDeleteOK thank you - it sounds like you are not getting through all the games each time and with different solutions I was checking there is a good replayability to it plus I guess the Eastern pack will add to this. Lets hope those 3 episodes air eventually (imagine being on the show then it doesn't get shown...) even if on something like Challenge!
ReplyDeleteCheck you lot every week, haven't seen this advertised anywhere yet so you must have some insider knowledge, good on you getting contacts and spreading the news. Definitely going to have to be getting this.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes we have a close relationship with the production team of the tv show, contacts with the original show, as well as the merchandise makers. We've been lucky to have been actually involved with the games testing for the past two series at the set.
DeleteHello there! just wondering if there was any update on the Eastern zone timer for the app as I have just bought the expansion and would like to enjoy that experience as well on my app. Thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteSorry but it doesn't seem there'll be an update. That's not official but this far after release it's unlikely to happen
