Advanced Game Types and Hybrids

Beyond the Basics

Some Logic Games don't fit neatly into one category. Hybrid games blend elements—like sequencing within groups or matching within a sequence.

Recognizing Hybrids

  • Multiple action layers (e.g., ordering and grouping together).
  • Rules that connect different sets of elements.

Tackling Hybrids

  • Create compound diagrams (e.g., a chart plus a sequence).
  • Look for connections between rules that affect more than one aspect.

Example Structures

  • Assigning workers to shifts (grouping) and determining the order in which they arrive (sequencing).
  • Matching professors to courses and time slots.

Practice Tips

Try breaking down complex games into smaller parts, diagram each element, and then look for overlap.

Examples

  • Scheduling actors into plays and assigning them to specific roles.

  • Grouping students for projects and sequencing their presentations.

In a Nutshell

Hybrid Logic Games require combining diagramming strategies and rule analysis.
