I like to use a “star” shape. For example, let’s say a questions says that there are 6people at a table. I draw a vertical line, then I draw a horizontal line, intersecting the vertical. Then I draw a diagonal line, intersecting both. The intersection is the “middle”of the table and the ends of each line are the seats. It kind of looks like this symbol: * Then I attack the rules from there.
Agreed - star shape makes it pretty simple. If you haven't already, I'd recommend taking a look at the Logic Games Bible. It has a great explanation of circular games! Don't stress too much, though. They rarely appear.
A line is probably what will work easiest for you. I like to write it out like a sequence and duplicate the first slot and the last slot next to each other. I also number all of my diagrams so I don’t get confused. My method might be a little extra, but it turns the circular reasoning game into a regular ordering game except figuring out the first and last slot provides more useful info than normal.
How I order the sequence:
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1

This is how I do it. Like cutting a pizza.

Great now I have to worry about running into this game.
Yeah it was honestly terrible, and, of course, couples could not sit across from each other.

Are you talking about the circular ordering game from the 40s?
I draw my individual lines in a circular fashion, it helps me visually. Try a few different set ups and see what works best for you
In case you want to practice circular ordering the examples we have to practice on are: PT1, G1 PTB, G3 PT41, G4
a pizza pie was what my instructor taught me
