Find the appropriate thing and put the system card near it. On the backs, you’ll see the name of the system in white, and then in smaller print underneath, the names of common household objects (for instance – lamp, door, sink, pen and paper, smartphone, bowl, etc).

Look at the Systems listed in green boxes on the right side of the bridge. ![]() Find the timer for your player count and place it near the top of the bridge where the time track is found.
