Maze Craze is an abstract strategy game for 2 players (or for 4 playing as two teams). Each player has 8 plastic playing piece pawns initially lined up on opposite sides of an 8x8 square space game board. A turn consists of moving one playing piece one space and then following "the directions indicated by the symbol on that square." These directions include: Move Again, Advance, Safe, Defense, Return to Start. The winner is the first player to move all of one's own 8 playing pieces to the other side of the board.

Game rules are printed on one small sheet of paper, English on one side and French on the other, but the board is English only.
