I am wanting a set of easy and fun rules for playing in a maze or a lbyrinth setting. Thanks Wolfen

Song of Gold and Darkness comes to mind. Easy and fun set of rules. Designed specifically for Dungeon Crawling. You will need Song of Blades and Heroes to play.

Not a labyrinth surely. A labyrinth only has one single route to the centre.

Song of Gold and Darkness, seconded.

You can find on-line the rules and solo adventures made for "The Fantasy Trip". Awesome when written, still great.

You can find a number of web sites supporting the game and with all the PDFs avaliable.

Songs of gold & darkness. thumbs up

First edition AD&D DMG had a solo dungeon system which was quite fun.

Will second the "The Fantasy Trip" recommendation. Played the heck out of it both solo and with a group back in high school and college.

Dave Crowell16 Jan 2014 5:06 p.m. PST

Tunnels&Trolls has scores of solitaire adventures in print if you are looking for role playing. For miniatures I third Song of Gold

darthfozzywig16 Jan 2014 7:55 p.m. PST

1ed AD&D has rules for generating random dungeons, wandering monsters, etc.

MajorB17 Jan 2014 3:01 a.m. PST

Yes a labyrinth Like in Greek mythology with the Minotaur.

It's usually referred to as a labyrinth, but if it had multiple routes then strictly speaking that is a maze. Of course, being mythological we really don't know …

I recently played a solo dungeon crawl campaign using the SOBH rules and Dungeon Command tiles:

The basic idea is that I randomly generate the dungeon using the tiles, then deal an encounter card on each tile. When my guys enter a tile the card is revealed and the bad guys placed randomly on the tile using dice. The tactics of the bad guys are decided by a simple algorithm.

I reckon you can do something similar with something like this:

The tiles are 10 x 10, so it's a simple 2d10 to determine where the monsters start – a simple algorithm decides which way they move each turn. To increase the fog of war, you may want to use blinds until your guys get a line-of-sight to the monsters.

Old SPI game Deathmaze

had counters which led to a Dungeon layout and had a set of solo rules. Also a supplement in Ares IIRC Citadel of Blood

Both pass a few hours solo quite nicely.
