Other ways to use the gameboard

[independence1776]

We the mods encourage creativity and we wanted to remind you that you can switch paths at intersections. There’s also the option of just picking what prompts you want to work with, but that would be individual and not something we can help with.

If you do use these alternate ways to move around the board, continue tagging for whatever path the prompt comes from.

You’ll likely have to be looking at either the board or the text list for the following list to make sense. All intersections are either Wild or Acts of Kindness squares.

List of switches

I was hoping this would be an option. Thanks for the info.

You Just made my brain explode! I don't understand how that works and it seems to contradict what it said somewhere else about if we switch paths they lose the credit for the things we wrote for the first path? I hope it works for me if I do not switch paths and just move on one track until the end. For once in my life I would like to finish a single B2MeM game (that's why I picked a short one!).

I have 2 questions! I decided to switch paths from purple to red when I hit the Wild Card.

1) Do I have to announce somewhere that I switched paths? I didn't - I just posted my first story on the red path without mentioning it.

2) Is there anything one must do for a Wild Card or is it just used for switching? Forgive me if this is posted somewhere. I didn't see anything when I looked at the rules.

I think I finished! I used the purple to red to yellow path and checked to make sure I used all the prompts along this path. I've just double-checked to make sure I didn't miss any of them. Should we announce when we think we've completed the challenge?
