Setup: Shuffle the Connect deck and place them face down in the center of the playing area.
Turn: Each player takes turns being the "connector". The role of the connector is to draw cards from the deck and give each element to the other players.

The association can be based on similarity, historical context, geographical distance, thematic relationship, cause and effect, or any other valid association.
Explain the connection: After the time runs out, each player who makes the connection must explain their reasoning to the group. This step allows for interesting discussions and the exchange of knowledge and ideas.
Scoring (Optional): You can introduce a scoring system to keep track of scores. For example, a connector can reward the player with the most creative or unexpected connection. In addition, the group can jointly decide if a connection is valid and score accordingly.
Next Connector: After all connections for the current element have been discussed, the connector's role passes to the next player clockwise or counterclockwise.
Game Resume: The game continues for a predetermined number of rounds or until the player decides to end the game.
