## How to Play

### 1 player

- Shuffle the cards and put them in a list without knowing their numbers.

- Set the fist and last card and place them at the start and end of the card list.

- Open all cards.

- Try to solve the TSP problem (from Start to End through points...) using the lace. 

- The first and last card should always stay there. Other cards can change positions to represent the route.

### 2+ Players

- For more than 1 player each player plays its turn and adds a mark (eg a small colored clip on the lace) at the end of the route.

- The player also writes down the order of her/his cards on a paper.

- The player to find the shortest route (lace comparison) wins the game.
