On the Map Sheet

1. Draw a Diamond, representing a new Location. Draw an arrow to it from your Lead, and label it. Optional: Drawn an arrow from the diamond back to your Lead square, and label it.
2. Draw an arrow from a circle or diamond that you had previously added to any other circle or diamond, and label it.
3. Any single circle that has arrows going to it from two different squares becomes a double circle. That means it's been upgraded from an Extra to a Feature. The players who have that Extra listed on their sheets under Resources move it to Relationships, and it goes from having two dice to one die.
