Can a node under a instanced scene call get_node() by path?

Question

The main scene is like this:

So far the 'Board' node is instanced (as you can see in the image) and at the same time children of 'Board' are instanced by code script.

Can any of the children nodes of 'Board' reach the 'Game' node using the get_node() by path?

I've tried this code:

    var game=get_node("/Game")
    if game:
        print("got game")

but fails.

First of all, get_node accepts a filesystem-like path, and scenes, after they are instanced, are just nodes somewhere in the tree.

This means that you can just do get_node("../../") to get the parent of the parent node.

But... there is a slight trick. The root node is /root, and it has the currently-running scene inside it, which means that you can use /root/Game to get to the node you want.

Oh thanks for the quick and detailed reply! I should have know it from a carefully read of documentation am examples.
