Last Saturday a contingent from the Society attended Salute 53 to run Marcus’s The Labyrinths of Mars Game, a mash up of John Carter of Mars and the board game Labyrinth.<\/p>\n

Above we see Marcus giving a last minute briefing to Chairman Mark and Alan.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of shots of the\u00a0 Labyrinth before the games started.<\/p>\n
