I have a paperback version of "Game Mechanics: Advanced Game Design" (2012) by Ernest Adams and Joris Dormans.

The book contains diagrams of multiple design patterns and refers to Appendix B for further description. Appendix B does not describe all of them and instead refers to www.peachpit.com/gamemechanics. The webpage does not contain the information in question. The machinations.io website does not seem to contain the information either.

There are multiple patterns left without explanation: Multiple Feedback, Trade, Worker Placement, and Slow Cycle. Where can I legally access the information about them?

The appendic B is just giving an 404, when followed.

Trade
A full description of the trade pattern is included in the online version of Appendix B, which you can find at www.peachpit.com/gamemechanics.

Taken from their support page, there are multiple steps you may need to take to get access to the bonus content

Registering a product for access to bonus content
Some of our products require you to register your purchase to your account on our sites, in order to access bonus content associated with the product.

  • To access bonus content for products you have registered, look for Access Bonus Content links on the Registered Products tab of your Account.
  • Bonus content does not exist for all titles. And sometimes it takes a few weeks after a title's publication for the bonus content to be finalized, submitted, and posted. This is usually author-dependent. It is posted as soon as it is ready.
  • If you purchased a product on the Peachpit site, that product will automatically be registered to your account, and you do not need to complete any further steps. Look on the Registered Products tab of your Account page for any available Access Bonus Content links.
  • If you are registering a product you purchased elsewhere, you may be asked to answer a proof-of-purchase "challenge question" in order to verify that you own the correct product. This may ask about a word related to a numbered element in the book—for example, "What is the third word in the caption for Figure 3.1?" Be sure you identify the proper element; in this case it is Figure 3.1 and not Table 3.1 or Example 3.1. Challenge question answers are case-sensitive.
  • Only ISBNs sellable on the Peachpit site and other InformIT Network storefronts may be registered to the Peachpit site and other InformIT Network storefronts. This means that standalone EPUB eBook ISBNs sold at retail, or Kindle eBook ISBNs sold on Amazon, will not be recognized by our registration system. Purchasers of those products should look for a Where are the Companion Files? page in their eBook, which will provide instructions on exactly what ISBN to register.
