Basic Rule of the game
1. 6 degrees of Brendan - A link between Brendan and an ACTOR(ress) is made by six links, for example, following links through mutual movies or TV roles

2. USING IMDB is NOT Cheating... but if you can play without it... more power to you.


Added Rules to make game a little more challenging:
3. Winner of the round, decides if they want the link to be made with Movie Roles Only.

4. Winner of the round, decides if Roswell connections are alloweed.

5. Winner of the round, decides if less than 6 connections is okay, but NO MORE than 6 should be used.
