Before play begins, players collaboratively "build the bar," establishing the atmosphere and setting.

Players draw a "map of relationships" between characters, using one or two words to define each connection. This map is fluid; as relationships shift during the conversation, old words are crossed out and new ones added, leaving a visible history of the connection.

At the end of the evening, each player completes an unfinished sentence and reads it aloud to conclude the session. Design Philosophy
