  • Week Three Reflection: Betrayal at the House on the Hill

    The game that we played during week three was called Betrayal at the House on the Hill. This game was probably one of my least favorite games unfortunately. I think the hardest part about this game was understanding the haunt that we were going on. I had first enjoyed the concept of exploring the new…

  • Mysterium!

    This past week I played Mysterium in class. In this game, each person is assigned a role. There will be 1 ghost and the rest of the players are trying to uncover messages from the ghost. The ghost is trying to reveal information about their murder (the murder, the location, and the murder weapon). However,…

  • Two Night Ultimate ReCon

    Friday, and Sunday, I attended ReCon, thrown by the League of Geeks. On the two days, I participated in two very different events: an open-smash session, and a board game session. On Friday, a friend and I visited the Smash 4v4 tournament in Armstrong Pavilion. We arrived, and saw many TV’s and monitors set up…

  • my time at recon

    My time at recon was spent in room 2055. I learned how to make little poke ball key chains and was very careful as to not blend the white and red “clay” together. I had a lot of fun and got to get to know Aidyn better. I also learned that in a different room,…

  • Betrayal at the House on the Hill

    This past week we played Betrayal at the House on the Hill. In this game, each player chooses a character with specific abilities, two mental and two physical. These abilities have a numbered rating which allows players to move around as well as take other actions throughout the game. The goal is for the players…

  • Secret Hitler

    This past week, we were giving the choice of playing Secret Hitler and Hanabi. For the majority of class, I played Secret Hitler with a group a five, including myself. I found myself enjoying this game because of the cooperative, strategical game style. This game is almost exactly like Avalon which we played last week.…

  • Betrayal of the House on the Hill

    During week 3 of EDL 290T B, we played Betrayal at the House on the Hill. I found this game rather entertaining as it felt like a step up from the cooperative games we played the last two weeks. Although we were still playing with a cooperative style, this game made things more interesting by…

  • game of the week blog reflection #3

    The game we played was betrayal at house on the hill. The hardest part about it was when the haunt started because things started getting very complicated. Our haunt was the one where everyone had evil twins and it caused quite a bit of confusion with every move. The ties that this one had to…

  • game of the week blog reflection #2

    The game I chose to play in class was Secret Hitler. The hardest part about it was keeping track of all the unlocked powers on the board as you advance and also to remember when you can ask the chancellor if they are Hitler. The ties that it has to leadership are that you have…

  • game of the week blog reflection #1

    On this day we played a game called Avalon in class. I had never heard of it before being introduced to it that day. The hardest part about it is how you have to be deceptive in your moves in order to not reveal who your character is. This is hard because you want to…
