Deduction board games

Deduction board game

Deduction board games are a genre of board game in which the players must use deductive reasoning and logic in order to win the game. While many games, such as bridge or poker require the use of deductive reasoning to some degree, deduction board games feature deductive reasoning as their central mechanic. Deduction board games typically fall into two broad categories; abstract and investigation games. (Wikipedia).

Philosophy & Our Mental Life - Hilary Putnam (1973)
