PLAYING THE GAME

1. To stay alive you must eat food and drink tea.

2. To carry on laying carpet you must collect more hammers, cutters and tacks to make up for loss and usage.

3. You score £1 for each square of carpet laid.

4. You score £50 for covering rival carpetfitters — watch the changing border colour — it tells you which of your carpetfitting rivals can be covered.

5. To leave a room you must have reached your target, possess the key and try the correct exit.

6. If you fail to complete a room you pay a penalty equal to the target for that room.

7. You are not allowed to walk on newly laid white carpet. If you block yourself in you may have to wait for your apprentice or a rival carpetfitter to let you out — but if you have more than two of any item you can try to drop something on the carpet to spoil it.
