  • Game of the Week: Roll Player

    The game we played this week was Roll Player, and it was a gamified character creator. Personally, I really enjoyed this game. I’ve always wanted to get into Dungeons and Dragons, so making the character creation process into a game was a brilliant idea in my book. Honestly, I feel like the hardest part of…

  • Game of the Week: Roll Player

    For the first game of the class, we played Roll Player. The game itself is a competitive character-building game, with aspects of drafting, strategy, chance, and resource management. In Roll Player, the goal is to build the best character possible using the dice and cards that are randomly drawn. Aspects of the character include their…

  • Week 1 (Roll Player)

    This week we played a game called Roll Player and it was pretty interesting. The game is a basic idea on how to create and character for Dungeons and Dragons and includes elements such as equipment and skills that your character can buy with money, rolling for your character’s stats, and the character’s identity. The…

  • Roll Player

    Last week we played Roll Player online through Tabletopia. The hardest part for me was definitely adjusting to the board game simulator and understanding whose turn it was. The confusion over turns was solved by constantly mentioning whose turn it was and keeping track of who went when after replacing the order cards. Our Zoom…

  • Roll Player

    Roll player is a very strategic board game. Its best number of players is four. This class is the first time I play this game, so in the beginning, I still don’t understand many rules. But when I figure out the rules, I found the game is full of antagonism and strategy. This game is…

The player who fulfills the largest number of these goals wins the game. Within my…

  • Week 1 (Roll Player)

    To begin this class we started with the game Roll Player. As someone who has never played a character creation game, I quickly realized how it tied to leadership. In order for someone to be a successful leader, one must know what traits a successful leader has and then embody them. Creating a character gives…

Therefore, I must have sufficient agility. I will think about how I should plan my characters in order to get higher scores. My…

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection 3-Betrayal at House on the Hill OR Pandemic

    The game I enjoyed the most this week was Betrayal at House on the Hill because I’ve never played a game like it before. There were so many mechanics to the game, and it wasn’t like any of the “basic” games I’ve played in the past. Everything from flipping over rooms, special characters, weapons, and…

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection 2-Hanabi or Mental Blocks

    I actually ended up playing both of these games, and I loved it. I love collaborative games where everyone is having fun, and working together towards the same goal. The hardest part of Hanabi was if myself or a group member would forget our card placements in our hand, we would have to flip over…
