Labyrinth: The Awakening, 2010–?

Labyrinth: The Awakening, 2010–? is an expansion for GMT Games’ strategic card-driven wargame Labyrinth: The War on Terror, 2001–?. It continues the story into the period of the Arab Spring, civil wars, changing regional politics, and the continuing struggle between the United States, jihadist movements, and other forces across the Muslim world.

The expansion adds new rules and components for grassroots political movements, civil wars, Local Security Forces, Awakening and Reaction markers, and Sub-Saharan Muslim country mats representing conflicts in places such as Mali and Nigeria. These additions broaden the original game’s model while keeping the same core map, base rules, victory conditions, charts, components, and solitaire system.

This is a strong addition for players who already own Labyrinth and want to extend the game beyond its original 2001–? setting. It adds new historical events, new scenario options, and more tools for exploring how political instability, insurgency, intervention, and reaction shaped the years after 2010.
