These diagrams show the rules used to determine the order of the trains (Q, R, S, T, V, W, Y) that arrive at Middlebrook Station on Saturday.
Refer to these diagrams when solving this game. Copy them on your own page, and on each question make a new version of them in order to follow along with my explanations. You’ll learn much more if you draw along.
The setup section explains how to build this diagram.
Main Diagram
Scenario 1
Scenario 2
The entire game reduces to these two little diagrams. Neat.
Study them well before trying the questions. And make sure to think a little about how the variables can be placed (without drawing all of the possibilities). It’s important to understand the possibilities your diagrams represent.
The explanations for this game are a lot more mechanical than for some games. That’s because once you understand the two scenarios, this is a very easy game. If you’re still a little confused by them, try to draw them on your own using the rules, and go over my set-up again.
