Description...

Loosely based on the Ravensburger game "The Labyrinth", this is played alongside Carcassonne; if followers have "died" - Dragon, Plague, etc. - they enter The Underworld; rows of tiles are slid back and forth changing the layout of passageways, while the followers try to reach a designated "safe" space where they are "resurrected"; players without a follower in the Underworld also move the passages, plus one of the two skeleton pieces, to try delay the exit of any trapped followers
