Six Degrees of Separation challenges players to build their own chain of Actors and films that separate two actors by 6 Degrees.

Players must race to be the first to create an alternating chain of 8 actors and 7 films they have in common. With six actors between the first and last, you get a separation of Six Degrees.

There are no turns. The game ends when one player has succeeded in completing a six degree chain.

But it's not that simple...

Films and Actors each have different point values. The winning player is not necessarily the the first player to achieve six degrees, but the one with the highest value chain.

Players will find Action cards that can help them or hinder their opponent(s). Maggie Smith might have a Wardrobe Malfunction on the red carpet or "I, Frankenstein" might be voted Best Film.

Having started his film career in 1978’s “Animal House”, by 2000 actor Kevin Bacon had come to appear in many of the most successful films in the last decade of the twentieth century. Appearing in such films as “JFK”, “A Few Good Men”, “Apollo 13”, and “Hollow Man”, just to name a few, Kevin Bacon seemed to have worked with just about every other popular actor in Hollywood.

1993’s “Six Degrees of Separation”, with Stockard Channing, Will Smith, and Donald Sutherland, speculated that every person on the
planet was only removed from another person by no more than six other individuals between the two.

It didn’t take long for a new parlor game to make its way through the L.A. party scene, and eventually into the general population called “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon”. Players, starting with Kevin Bacon and another actor from any film that had ever been made, are challenged to create a chain between the two using films in which pairs of actors appear.
