This week’s game was Ultimate Werewolf. This is a game where everyone is a different character (for the most part). There was some werewolves who want to kill everyone except themselves, while everyone is trying to hunt them down. Throughout the game, people are being killed, hung, and interrogated in order to figure out who…

This week’s game was Captain Sonar. the game is a competitive team game of four people trying to sink the other team’s battleship. Each person has their own unique objective and it is all in real time. The hardest part for me was the real time aspect of the game. It goes so quickly and…

Today in class it was free play, so my table chose to play “Say Anything.” The hardest part about it was because I didn’t know some of the people at the table as well as they knew each other, so there were certain answers that were inside jokes which won and I didn’t get points…

Last week our class played a game called Captain Sonar. This game is played with 2 teams and 4 roles on either team. The two teams are separated by dividers in the middle of a table. Technically you can play with 2 players on each team (4 total), but that would be chaotic. The best…

This past week my class played ultimate werewolf, which I have played before and really enjoyed. It’s a large hidden role game similar to that of Mafia for those who have played Mafia. There are two teams, with specific roles on each team. The werewolves goal is to kill everyone in the town until they…

Last class period I played a game Bloc by Bloc in which each player represents a group such as workers, prisoners, students, and neighbors. We played a completely cooperative version where we all were working together. The board is a 5×5 grid of tiles, where some represent one of the groups players can choose from…

Last week we played a game that I was really looking forward to for this semester that was Ladies and Gentleman. At first glance, this game might seem like its based in sexism, but when one further understands gameplay, its easy to see the satirical nature. The game is based in a victorian era, where…

L. Gray I attended REcon in Armstrong student center at Miami University on February 24th. The League of Geeks on campus sponsored this event. The convention lasted the whole weekend and featured many exciting events. There was a live show by Dice Tower, panels, an escape room, trivia, prizes, crafts, and even more. As a…

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend and participate in an even at Miami University called Recon that was hosted by the League of Geeks. It was a weekend event that was absolutely full of any geeky event you could imagine! My specific interest in this event was in board games. I’ve…

Last week we played two rooms and a boom. This game has essentially 3 teams that are the blue, red, and gray teams. Players are given a role card and then divided into two groups randomly. Ideally these two groups are in two separate rooms so that they cannot listen or hear each other. There…
