Thank you. Follow-up question. How do you make time to enter in all of the
rules within the cell? What I mean is given that there is a limited amount
of time wouldn't take an extra few steps to set your game board up using
Excel? Do you take the time to expand the rolls with in Excel? Do you
create cell with and create outcome formulas? Does anyone have an example
of how you would even set up an Excel spreadsheet to reflect logic games?
It's still a bit abstract to put it within an Excel spreadsheet. I believe
I have a good grasp on the linear games so far. I am diving deeper into the
more complex games but, putting them in an Excel spreadsheet seems like a
good idea but I can't really grasp the concept yet. Thank you again feel
free to offer any comments
