Tabletop Leadership

During the first week of class, we played Werewolf. The hardest part about this was not a lot of us knew each other, so we would just target each other with no real good reasons.

I think Candy Land would be a cool game to remake with a social justice theme. I enjoy the simplicity of the game. Instead of colors, I would have the spaces be different topics such as race, gender, sexuality, other identities, and more. I would then have corresponding cards. On a player’s turn, they would…

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was unable to play this game. I overcame this obstacle by reading the rules and watching the game be played. This is a really cool game that I would love to play. Players are divided into two teams: one red and one blue. These two teams then separate…

One game I really enjoyed during this time was Nonograms. A nonogram is similar to sudoku. The game app Nonograms allows players to play on…

Leadership is like a game. Think of a game, any game. I can guarantee that for any game, it possesses opportunities for leadership in some way. Every game has ways that require players to use some kind of leadership trait, even if all a player does a take a simple turn.  Practically every game involves…

Ladies & Gentlemen is a really fun group game that I played in the course, EDL290T, at Miami University. The players in the game are split onto two sides: the ladies and the gentleman. Players select which side they want to be on, and it works best if you have an even number of players.…
