How to play

Get from one life to the other through people who were alive at the same time.

Name anyone whose life overlaps either end of your chain.
Someone who lived inside the gap stays on the board, to be linked up later.
Close the gap from both sides. Every guess counts toward your score. Par is what a good player needs: more for obscure stretches and narrow rules.
You get par + 3 misses (4 at par 1, 10 at par 7). Islands and detours don't count as misses.

linked, and moved the chain forward linked, but a detour: no further forward in the gap missed: never alive together
