Setup

Just a general question -- In this question Naz drew out all three possible scenarios, and it proved to be particularly valuable on some of the questions (especially the last one which could be a trap question). I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb as to when we should create these possible scenarios? Because I know that some games have four or more scenarios possible, and I wanted to know if there is an upper limit to the number scenarios in which we should draw out. Any help would be appreciated

Hi @SorooshKosha,

It really depends on how much time you have left and how fast you think it'll be to sketch out the scenarios. If it's four relatively simple, short scenarios that won't take much time to sketch out, I might sketch them out. Otherwise, I'll usually sketch out scenarios when there's two possible ones, and lean towards sketching them out if there's three and they aren't too complicated. I think you should really get wary at 4, though, unless you think you can draw them out pretty quickly. Hope this helps!
