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.
