You and your fellow intrepid explorers are exploring a hot, dry desert maze. You have a limited supply of water to navigate and expose the maze path and find the way out. You will encounter quicksand, scorpions, and mirages that will fool and stymie you. Can you be the hero of the group by being the first one to expose the maze path and find the exit?
Your goal is to create a complete, unbroken maze path between the Maze Entrance and the Maze Exit and be the first Explorer to exit the maze. However, be careful not to run out of water, get caught in quicksand or encounter a scorpion!
Your maze exploration starts by shuffling all the maze tiles facedown and placing them on the table in front of you, being sure to connect at least one edge of each tile to another. You will then roll one or two dice to move over the tiles, turn them faceup, rotate them, and uncover the maze before you run out of your limited supply of water.
Along the way you will search for the hidden exit while also encountering various artifacts. Some artifacts, like the well, will help you to continue your explorations, others, like the scorpion or quicksand will not!
