Labyrinth (Rules)

• Each player starts on one of the corners of the
  board.
• The winner is the first player that reaches his
  or her starting position after collecting the 6
  treasures assigned to that player.
• To collect the treasures you must shift the
  pieces of the maze. This is done by pushing the
  extra maze piece into the labyrinth at some point
  so that you can move as far as you wish along its
  open passageways.
