• [ ] represents a room
• | represents a vertical exit from a room
• - represents a horizontal exit from a room
• a...x represent treasures
• @ represents a player

Note: to be connected, two rooms must have each a path towards the other, e.g.

Connected rooms:
[ ]--[ ] (horizontally)

[ ]

[ ] (vertically)

Unconnected rooms:
[ ]- [ ]

Each turn is divided in two phases:

1. The free room (the room outside the game board, in the upper left corner) must be rotated (with the r key), positioned with the arrow keys and inserted in the board with the enter key (only even rows and columns are allowed)
2. The player character (@) must be moved to its next treasure following the available paths in the labyrinth.

To win the game a player must get all their treasures (which are randomly split between every player) and then go back to their strating position.
