One player names an actor or actress; for instance, John Travolta.
The next player links the named celebrity to another actor. For example, Travolta worked with Nicolas Cage in "Face/Off." The player continues to connect actors or actresses until he gets to a movie in which Bacon appeared. For example, Cage appeared in "Adaptation" with Meryl Streep, who appeared in "The River Wild" with Bacon.
If the player takes more than six steps, his turn ends.
Each player scores one point for each degree. The player with the least amount of points at the end of the game wins.
