How would you write out this hybrid game?

  I believe the hidden inference here is that whatever is between the A and C must be the consecutive XX attribute pieces. This is how I would set this up:

  

  A double layer sequencing game. The top row being the A-E pieces and the bottom row being the attributes X etc. The yellow tick marks are our rules: the green stars are what I see as the game's guiding inference. Given the sequencing element, I'm curious, how did you make these rules fit into a chart?

  My approach would be double layer sequencing. Write out sequencing 1-5 with 2 spaces above each.

  For the rules, I’d write a vertical box with A and x, and cross it out. A horizontal box with xx. (This also gives you an inference that the lower case game pieces are x, x, y, z, and then 1 more either y or z.) And finally a large box with A, 2 spaces and then C/z with a switch over the top between the A and C/z to show that those can swap position. That last large box showing the A and C positions combined with the horizontal xx and the rule that A can’t be with x really rules out a lot of possibilities. Should be pretty straight forward to write out a few game boards.

  Hope that helps! Let me know if you need any more clarity.

  I like your way better. I felt my way was too much work which is why I just stopped and asked for help.

  What I did was a chart with the xyz on the side and the attributes above. where I check marked whether it was applied or not. But I then still had to sequence out the attributes. It seemed the way to go at first until I realized I may be making it more difficult for myself to understand. > @BinghamtonDave said:

  I am definitely going to try out both to see which one works best with me. This is actually similar to what I was doing but felt it was just a lot of work and wasn't sure if there was an easier way to sketch. > @"Leah M B" said:

  OK, so I just physically wrote it down and once I did that, it was obvious that the key inference is that the xx has to go between the C and A. Here are my notes - there are basically only 2 game boards:
