But, instead of a Venn Diagram, the player playing as the Knower comes up with the rules of a cascading flowchart. As more and more Things get added, groups split with new rules. While the flowchart grows, you'll surprise yourself with how well you can follow the logic (or, laugh at yourselves at how lost you truly are).

For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever. 4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more. 3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that. 2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances. 2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance. 1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game. 1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.

About Things on Strings, from BoardGameGeek:

You'll cooperatively use logic to compare, contrast, and categorize Things-just like in the first game (Things in Rings). But, instead of a Venn Diagram, the player playing as the Knower comes up with the rules of a cascading flowchart. As more and more Things get added, groups split with new rules. While the flowchart grows, you'll surprise yourself with how well you can follow the logic (or, laugh at yourselves at how lost you truly are). -description from the publisher
