Playing The Game

The player who rolled the highest number will be the first to play. He/She will select two chips from the bingo dispenser. Look to the celebrity list and match the numbers with the celebrities' names you are to match. The first chip will represent who you start with, and the second will represent whom you are to end up with. When you have the names, put them back in the dispenser. Then, he/she will roll the die. This will decide how he/she will be able to match the two names. Rolling a 1 or a 2 will mean movies only. Rolling a 3 or a 4 will mean movies and/or TV Rolling a 5 or a 6 will mean anything goes. This means you can use movies written by the same person or directed by the same person, but excludes relationships. The people must have worked on the same movie or TV episode. This also means that if you use the writer of a show, that writer had to have written the exact episode that the person you are matching with guest stared in. He/She (who we will now refer to as the active turn player)

will then try and connect the two names through the path determined by the die, in as few steps as possible. The other players will try and beat the number of steps that the active turn player uses. There is no set time limit. How long the player takes will be purely a judgment call on all of the players. However, as soon as the active turn player is finished, the turn will be over, and it will be time to compare answers. Here are a few examples of how a turn might be played. Keep in mind, when you write down your answers, you will not need to write down anything other then the names and the movies/T.V. shows (or what ever the case may be).

Now, obviously there were other paths I could have taken, but for the sake of demonstrating the various techniques, those were the paths I chose.
