About the game
A 2 player variant of the old classic. 2 players move around the shifting tunnels of the labyrinth, in a race to connect two treasures. Each player has his own private board and whoever gets the connection first, wins this round! This game is very simple at first glance, and is an excellent puzzle-solving game.
