When first attempting this game, my instinct was to make a game board that included year one and year two. When I watched the video, I noticed JY made two templates without paying attention to whether either of them was year one or year two, and I thought his strategy was very good. I'm wondering how he knew to ignore the year one/year two aspect of the game when he made the templates.

    This game was really interesting and I'd like to practice more like it. Has anyone encountered any similar games - In/Out with a bi-conditional?

    Hey @johnmcc19710, I think your question comes with A LOT of practice. One of the things that tips you off that the naming of the groups doesn't matter are these two rules:

    "G and V do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other"

    "H and Y do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other"

    What these rules tell us is that, if you have G in one year, you can't have V in the other but because the rules leave unspecified what year G or V needs to be in, it's interchangeable.
