Origin year places a game in the year its rules were first fixed in writing. Wikipedia notes rugby football's "rules were first put down in written (codified) form in 1845," even though students had already been playing an informal version "since at least the early 1820s." Browsing by origin year separates when a game's rules were formalized from when it was actually first played.

What distinguishes Deduction and Guessing Games from Party and Word Games?
The dividing line is a formal deduction structure, present in Battleship and Cluedo but absent from open-ended party guessing games.
Deduction and Guessing Games covers games won by logically narrowing down hidden information through structured guesses, such as Battleship and Cluedo. Open-ended party guessing games without a formal deduction structure are grouped instead under Party and Word Games, so the dividing line is whether the guessing follows a structured deduction process.
