6 Degrees of Bacon 🥓

[blulilacgrl]

Just because I love this game! I did a quick search and couldn't find it here, so I'm gonna start one. I'm assuming that the movie buffs already know the rules and how to play but just in case...

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Bacon's Law is a parlor game where players challenge each other to find the shortest path between an arbitrary actor and prolific actor Kevin Bacon, linked by films they have appeared in together. It rests on the assumption that anyone involved in the Hollywood film industry can be linked through their film roles to Bacon within six steps. The game's name is a reference to "six degrees of separation", a concept which posits that any two people on Earth are six or fewer acquaintance links apart.

** Note...the goal is to link ban actor in no more than 6 steps so if you can do it in less than steps or movies, you're golden!

Here is a link to a video that also explains how to play.
