Highlights

Game 1 — Two worlds based on N made quick work of this game. Question 4 is the trickiest of the bunch, so Erik took his time to reread and translate. He also explained why Disneyland is best visited alone: the single-rider line.

Game 2 — This object-stacking game doesn’t need to be diagrammed vertically. But why wouldn’t you? A student talked the class through their approach beginning with two worlds based on N. Starting with the KL block may be just as good or better.

Game 3 — Don’t think about game “types.” If you immediately peg this one as a “grouping game,” you may make false assumptions about the rules and needlessly limit your diagramming options. Erik showed how a couple of worlds—each using a circle-slash setup for each costume—neatly solve this game.

Game 4 — Start with KM, then consider H. Or start with H, then consider KM. Either approach leads to the same four worlds. This game wraps up with one of the easiest-to-predict Rule Sub questions of all time, prompting Erik to challenge the class to stop skipping Rule Sub questions on timed sections.
