Can’t Stop
From the beginning I knew this would be a game I either really liked or disliked depending on if I won or not, which is extremely rare for me. To me, this is a game of luck and risk, two mechanics that I don’t mind separately, but together makes for a game that has me…

Game of the Week Blog Reflection: Fiasco Week 1/2
For week’s one, two, and three we played the game Fiasco. I was completely unfamiliar with the game and how to play and so that was the biggest challenge overall. I played with Alyssa, Grayson, and two other students who fluctuated in and out of the game. My character was a plumber who was non-binary,…

Our class continued with the same…

Playing Fiasco on Tabletop Simulator
Fiasco Fiasco was, as promised, a fiasco. As expected, the Tabletop Simulator was difficult to navigate, especially since I’m currently stuck using a trackpad. Otherwise the game went as many do, with a lot of confusion and chaos. It was hard to work off of the energy of the other players like you can in…

Fiasco Week 2
This week we played the second part of Fiasco and we only have time to complete Act Two of the game. After the relationships, objects, needs, and locations are defined, our group then takes a turn in part two of Fiasco. I feel like it is like a shared narrative game because I and my…

Fiasco – Part 2
This week we continued playing Fiasco from where we left off last week. Overall the game went well. I have to thank my group as I had wisdom teeth surgery the day before this class and so wasn’t feeling great and they supported me in that. They let me take a smaller role in Act…
