On the Map Sheet

1. Draw an arrow from any circle or diamond to any other circle, diamond, or square, and label it. (If one of your fellow players left an Extra, Location, or Feature without a connection back to their own Lead square, this step gives you an opportunity to define that connection for them.)
2. Either draw an arrow from your square to an existing circle or diamond, or draw a new circle or diamond and draw an arrow to it from your square. In either case, label the arrow.
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.
