River Horse Grab The Rights To Jim Henson’s Labyrinth!
July 3, 2015 by brennon
River Horse have just told us that they've acquired the rights to something a little bit special! They now have the rights to produce a board game based on the world of Labyrinth by Jim Henson!
The possibilities are quite exciting here. The movie is pretty out there and the creatures are all awesome of course. Maybe we'll get ourselves an awesome David Bowie miniature out of this and an array of cool Goblins.
If you don't know what Labyrinth is, check out the song out above then go and watch the movie...
It's quite out there.

I don’t know whether to be elated or anxious…
Well this is surely interesting news. We can only wait and see how this will turn out.
Love this movie, hope River Horse does it justice.
River Horse has done really good licensed products before (just look at Terminator) and Alessio knows his games. This should be good! Plus my wife is a big Labyrinth and Henson fan. Win-Win!
It better come with the soundtrack!
That would be amazing! Even now, in my old age (over 40 is all I’m saying) I still love singing along!
Fook yeeeaahhh!!!
Words out of my mouth Dave
Oh my!
Probably the best news I heard all year.
Jump Magic Jump… for joy.
I would love to field a force of goblins from that movie. They were hilariously awesome!
This is awesome news. I don’t card if it’s a miniature board game or not, I’ll be all over this.
yes!
time for some nekrogoblikon

(in the style of Garth from Waynes World)…. Thanks…. I like.. to…. sing. 🙂
Party on!
Damn I we already did that combo magic dance forum post earlier this year. Spooky how things come around like that makes me all Chilly Chilly.
I hope they do something good with this or you might see them Going Underground and the World Falls Down around them…
Yeah
Some top tunes there Lafayette!
This could be absolutely awesome, can’t wait.
All my extended family love Labyrinth.
If it is good they would love playing it…
Note while a success in the UK it was a flop in the US.
Yayyy! can’t wait for this. Love the film.
What an amazing license ! Pretty exited what they will do with it.
Lets hope that there’s some lovely figs/game pieces to go with yhis, at last I may be able to get a Jared fig for my other half!
Should be a lot of fun and Alessio knows his stuff-yep 2015 is shaping out to be a good year for gamers!
Please god, if there are figures for this, please let them be better than the Terminator ones!
