The aim is to move your scouts from one side of the board to the other. The board is a transparent plastic case in which you push tiles which make up a 6x8 rectangular maze. Each tile has a different 3x3 arrangement of pathways and hedges. There are 49 tiles and on each turn you push the extra tile into one of the rows (in which you have a pawn) to alter the maze (and push out a tile from the other end). Both before and after you do this you can move any of your scouts towards the far side of the maze.
