In out game confusion

  So, lets say you have game pieces F G H J and K. A grouping game will say something along the lines of "three companies are holding a presentation. 5 presenters F G H J and K will each give a presentation at one of the three companies."

  A sequencing game will say something along the lines of " 5 docks are lined up numbered 1 thru 5, from lowest to highest. Each ship F G H J and K are docked at one of the 5 docks."

  For the sequencing game board, its just a straight line. Its equivalent to a linear equation like 6x + 2 = 32.

  For grouping games, the board is more like a chart or a diagram because of the multiple components. I liken it to the quadratic formula.

  An in/ out game is more likely going to be a grouping game in which there is a slot for "out" components.

  So, for example, using the scenerio above with the presentations... An in/out game will say or imply that not all of the pieces have to be used and to set up the game board, you would draw the chart as you would for a grouping game and add another column for pieces not used.

  Hope this helps!
