Highlights

Stuart took the lead on Test 57, Game 1 — Student activities, and we made 5 worlds, killing a 6th. This Logic Game, though it felt a bit like a web game, because of the two big blocks, it’s pretty great to just choose one of the blocks and put them in, building worlds off of that block. The questions ended up being straightforward, including a rule sub. (check out the Rule Sub Bootcamp!)

Don guided us on Test 57, Game 2 — Actor auditions, and we had a great discussion on which rules to start our game-building with. Gravitating toward the more restrictive rules can be great because they are easier to implement and then trigger other rules too (So think about O1 before R1 might be a great rule to start with on this game!).

Next up was Test 57, Game 3 — Toy dinosaurs, and Evan walked us through a five-world setup on this notorious game, showing how much more straightforward it can be if you attack the game via the out slots. U and V must occupy at least one of those slots, so focusing on the one remaining out slot is a dinosaur killer (the Circle-Slash Bootcamp has a great way to do this game).

Demon teacher Matt walked through Test 57, Game 4 — Award grants based on the distribution of the two Ms, then whether we had a second W or not. From there, it’s just keeping the non-consecutive rule and grinding the questions.
