Taking in October. Doing great on games, and really love In/Out games. But one of my biggest concerns for test day is that I won't recognize an I/O Game as an I/O Game right away. I say this because there are a number of past games that JY runs as I/O Games (genius), but that others don't run as I/O Games because the cues aren't that obvious. When we're practicing, we usually know it's an I/O game because it's in a bundle or part of a quiz. But once or twice on prep tests, I've hit a game and only a few minutes in did I realize it was an I/O game.
This is a very long way of asking if there is a lesson that I missed, or if anyone has some good cheats, for a foolproof way to spot an I/O Game instantly.
Thanks. I'm thinking in particular about Dinos, which I know was a bit of an aberration. But it "reads" more naturally as an overfunded grouping game, or whatever the name of that categorization is that the mainstream companies use. 7 items for 5 spots. You've shown how much easier it is as an I/O, but if you have a second, can you go back and re-read the setup through the eyes of someone who hasn't seen it before, and share what would tip you off that it was an I/O?
