Analysis of Grouping Game #2: June 1997 Questions 1-7

It is immediately apparent that this game differs from the previous game in that the groups are not fixed. Although the number of variables—sponsors in this case—being placed is Defined at seven, the number of spaces per table is not precisely defined, and therefore the game is Moving. This type of uncertainty almost always increases the difficulty of a game because it introduces another element that must be tracked during the game. In addition, each of the seven sponsors will be seated at one of the three tables and thus the game is Balanced. Therefore, the game is Defined-Moving, Balanced.

The first rule establishes that each table must have at least two sponsors seated at it, and since there are a total of seven sponsors, it can be deduced that one of the three tables will have three sponsors seated at it and the other two tables will each seat two sponsors. This is a 3-2-2 numerical distribution. In this case, the 3-2-2 distribution is considered “unfixed,” since the three sponsors could be seated at either table 1, table 2, or table 3. In some games “fixed” distributions occur, and these fixed distributions are generally a benefit since they limit the possibilities within a game.

The other rules of the game are relatively straightforward, and the initial setup should appear similar to the following:
