It continues where Labyrinth: The Awakening 2010 - ? left off and adds new event cards and rules to cover the last five years of history. Since publication of Labyrinth and its first expansion fans of the game have expressed a desire to update it based on more recent events and a variety of event card ideas and variants have been freely shared online. This second expansion to the Labyrinth game series fulfills that continuing interest by providing up-to-date event cards and allows the game to continue to serve as an effective strategic level model of the ongoing struggles in the Muslim world.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabyrinth:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Forever War 2015 - ? uses the exact same rules victory conditions map components and charts as its predecessor game and expansion.
