Hello,

I'm working on a python coding project where I am working on a text-based game and move room to room collecting items. The player must collect all six items before reaching the Alien in the command deck or they lose the game. For some reason, though if a player reaches the command deck before getting all six items it does not properly tell the player they lost, in fact, it asks if they want to collect it as if the alien was an item. Below is my code/layout for the game, how do I fix it so it properly triggers a win/lose when the player arrives at the command deck based on having 6 items in the inventory or not? Help or guidance is appreciated!
