Manhattan's Breakdown of Game Types

[velvet]

Can someone give me Manhattan's exact breakdown of game types?

In the strategy guide it goes:
ORDERING: Relative, Numbered, 3D
BINARY: Open, Closed
ASSIGNMENT: Open, Closed
OTHER: Misc.

But in the course recordings (session 12), there is one game type as 'Mismatch Ordering'?--what exactly is this, the Misc?

I also have seen 'Advanced Assignment' notated on the course recordings. Is this like some kind of hybrid or misc game type?

Thanks.

Thanks for the question. Your general framework is correct. The class goes into some of the twists that you can see in these larger categories. They require you to adapt, and it'd be misleading to outline a specific approach to all these twists in the book.

Within ordering, one twist is mismatching the number of elements and slots. We could debate whether this is its own game type or a twist on another type.

Advanced assignment games cover grouping games that have one of these twists: the groups are ordered, or the elements in the groups have subsets.
