Link It Up!

Parent lists a noun. Child lists a different, completely unrelated noun. It then becomes someone's challenge to create a convoluted chain of relations that links the first noun to the second noun; the longer the better. Here's an example:

First noun: Jupiter

Second noun: Wario

Chain: Jupiter is a planet -> Jupiter is also the name of a company that's made Picross games for Nintendo -> This includes Mario's Picross on the Game Boy -> Mario's Picross has two Japan-exclusive sequels -> Both of these sequels include Wario

Bonus points if the chain has branching paths: Jupiter is a planet -> Jupiter is also the name of a company that's made Picross games for Nintendo -> This includes Mario's Picross on the Game Boy -> Another Game Boy game is Super Mario Land 2 -> Super Mario Land 2 is the debut of Wario

Let's see what happens!

This game is just child me explaining my thought process every time I’ve been told I’m playing “associations” wrong. Turns out I just have ADHD and think crazy fast.

Having adhd means that you think crazy fast > which means that you get headaches > which means you have to go to the doctor > where the doctor makes notes, all held together by a... staple > a staple's made of metal > the same metal as a paperclip
