- What is a hybrid logic game setup?
- A game combining rules from two or more different game types, such as ordering plus selection or distribution plus sequencing.
- How do you identify an ordering-plus-selection hybrid game?
- Look for both a sequence constraint (first/before/after) AND a selection constraint (choose/at most/must include).
- In an ordering-plus-selection hybrid, what should your diagram include?
- A numbered slot line (1-7) for ordering, plus a separate check-off or notation for which entities are selected.
- What is a circular or round-table logic game?
- A setup where entities are arranged in a circle or around a table with constraints based on relative position (neighbor, opposite, clockwise).
- How do you recognize a circular game in the prompt?
- Look for language like 'around a table', 'in a circle', 'seats', 'neighbors', or 'opposite sides'.
- What is the key difference between circular arrangement and linear ordering?
- In circular, there is no first or last position, but there are neighbors and opposite positions; in linear, there is a definite order with first and last.
- How do you diagram a circular game with 6 entities around a table?
- Draw a hexagon or circle with 6 positions marked clockwise, label entities, and mark constraints like 'neighbor', 'across', or 'two seats apart'.
- In a circular game, what does 'opposite' mean for an even number of seats?
- Two positions directly across from each other, with an equal number of seats on both sides (e.g., seats 1 and 4 in a 6-seat arrangement).
- What is a mapping or spatial logic game?
- A game where entities are placed on a grid, map, or spatial layout with constraints based on distance or position (adjacent, row/column, coordinates).
- How do you recognize a mapping game in the prompt?
- Look for language like 'grid', 'rows and columns', 'buildings', 'floors', 'addresses', or distance-based constraints like 'adjacent' or 'north of'.
- What diagram should you use for a mapping game on a 3-by-3 grid?
- Draw a 3-by-3 grid (9 cells) labeled by row and column, or use coordinates like (1,1) to (3,3), and mark entity placements and constraints.
- In mapping games, what does 'adjacent' typically mean?
- Two positions sharing an edge (horizontally or vertically), but not diagonally (unless the prompt specifies otherwise).
- How do conditional constraints change a logic game setup?
- If-then statements (if entity A is in position X, then entity B must be in position Y) create branching scenarios; diagram these as rules separate from the main board.
- What is a 'chain' of conditional constraints in a logic game?
- A sequence of if-then rules where the consequence of one rule triggers the condition of another (A implies B, B implies C, so A implies C).
- How do you diagram a conditional chain like 'If A is in 1, then B is in 2; if B is in 2, then C is in 3'?
- Create a separate rule box showing A1 -> B2, B2 -> C3, and note the transitive implication A1 -> C3.
