Tabletop Leadership

This past week, we played the board game, Mysterium. I found these game really entertaining and interesting. I liked how the “ghost” is given a lot of responsibility and he, in a way, dictates the game. At first I struggled only because I usually was looking too far into my clues. The important clues were…

Today in class we played Survive. The hardest part about it was being mean to the other people playing in order for me to win, for example, putting a shark or sea serpent on a spot that other players occupied. The ties that it had to leadership was going after the players who had the…

In class this week we played, Avalon. I felt that the hardest part of the game was remembering the various characters that were in the game and distinguishing who was good and who was evil. I was able to recognize that different characters played different roles; for example, Percival is able to have insight as…

This week in class we played, Secret Hitler, another role play game where the Fascists are against the Liberals and visa versa. At the beginning, all players are assigned to be either a Liberal, Fascist or Hitler. The hardest part of this game was trying to strategically figure out who you felt was a fascist…

Escape from Atlantis was my favorite game that we played all semester. I really enjoyed that there was some sort of skill involved in the game, however it was part luck as well. We were able to play two games and by the second game, I started to better realize the more strategic ways to…

This past week, we played Survive: Escape From Atlantis. I was not the biggest fan of this game, but i still enjoyed playing it. I found this game to be quite frustrating at times, but overall it was enjoyable. I think that this game required some strategy in order to win, whether it’s where you…

This week we played “Ladies and Gentlemen.” The hardest part about it was how completely random everything was. For example, if you were a lady and you happened to pick the same place to shop at as another lady, this would hurt your chances of picking better items. Also there was the factor of whether…

We played Linkee in class before spring break. The hardest part about it was how quickly you had to think to figure out the pattern in order to shout out “Linkee” before the other team. The ties that it has to leadership are that if you know the answer, you grab the paper and write…
