Add Mechanism: Deduction

BGA has a number of deduction games. Both social deduction and other forms of deduction. It would be really nice if "Deduction" was added to the Mechanism filter when searching for games. And there's already a forum where members have listed most of the existing deduction games, so that retroactive labeling is possible.
Alternate wording could be Puzzles or Problem Solving or Process of Elimination. But I think Deduction is the most common term used.

Here is the forum for Suggestions that affect all of BGA like adding a new filter category (i.e., it doesn't just affect one individual game).
If you really want to be an outlier, I'd start by reading the pinned post there called "Suggestions (read this first)."

Maybe they left it off because they thought people who liked those games would enjoy figuring it out themselves?

Thank you! I'm used to submitting bugs, but I haven't spent much time in the community forums and didn't see that category.
