Ben Milton and his fellow contributors have done a great job of mining the movie version of The Labyrinth as inspiration for a TTRPG setting. In the spirit of the film (and Jim Henson's work in general), the emphasis is on problem-solving and teamwork, with no real provision for handling combat, which so many other TTRPGs place front-and-center.
Even if you have no intention of ever playing a game following the rules included in the book, the adventure scenarios (and the maps that go with them) are so well done that they can readily serve as prompts to the imagination, or even as drop-in encounters in any fantasy-oriented game system that you may already be using.
Kudos to the designers of this volume as well - it's beautifully printed and bound, and is a joy to read and handle.
