How To Play:

Players take turns asking each other questions (or sharing something) about the topics within the circles. The goal is to make a "path" across the page/slide by starting on a circle at one end, and marking circles all the way to the opposite end of the game board. Moves may go to any circle that’s connected by a straight or diagonal line to the current circle.
