  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection 5: Fiasco Week 3

    “Fiasco” is not so much a running game, as it is an impromptu drama between friends. It has a very high degree of openness, and the rules are so simple that there are almost no rules. The set scenes are like a dog-blood movie, playing ( In other words, there must be a plot reversal…

  • RPG Character Build Reflection

    To build an RPG character sheet that described my real-life leadership attributes I used the Dungeon and Dragons template. This was probably one of the more harder assignments for me because I lack experience creating these sheets and didn’t really understand the point system at all. However, I was able to receive and help and…

  • Buzzfeed LeaderShip Quiz Reflection

    For the BuzzFeed assignment, I created a personality quiz that would determine the leadership style that best fits the participant and tells them the corresponding Meeple color. For example, if someone has a democratic leadership style then their results would be the blue meeple. I think all gamers should take a leadership quiz similar to…

  • Fiasco Playset Reflection

    I designed a Fiasco playset (with the help of my father) that was based on the popular Netflix series, the Peaky Blinders. I think the hardest part of the assignment was both the duration of how long it would take to complete and coming up with things like relationships and locations that weren’t too specific…

  • Game of the Week: Incan Gold and Can’t Stop

    A week or so ago, we played Incan Gold and Can’t Stop in class, and overall, I enjoyed both games. The theme that week was weighing risk vs. reward, and man, did I feel that. For a leader, considering risk vs. reward is an essential skill to learn because the risk impacts the whole group,…

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection 6: Incan Gold and Can’t Stop

    This week in Tabletop Leadership we played Incan Gold and Can’t Stop. I think these games are my favorite this semester so far. They were both easy to learn, easy to play, and a lot of fun. They both had risk taking aspects which was why I enjoyed them so much. I like the feeling…

  • What Type of Gamer Am I?

    I have never been much of a board game player. I play every once in a while and only in social settings. I am never one to suggest playing a board game, but I am willing to if I see that we can have good fun out of it. After taking this test I learned…

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection: Incan Gold and Can’t Stop

    This week, we played two games during the class session. They are called Incan Gold and Can’t stop. For the Incan Gold, the whole round has five small rounds, for each small round, players will decide to continue their adventure to gain more golds or quit to make sure they do not lose their golds…

  • Game of the Week Blog: Incan Gold and Can’t Stop

    This week in class we played two relatively quick games, Incan Gold and Can’t Stop. Incan Gold is a multiplayer card game that is perfect for those that love to take risks and push their luck. To play you shuffle the deck and someone deals by flipping over a card revealing either a trap or…

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection 5: Fiasco Week 3

    This week in Tabletop Leadership, we continued playing Fiasco. In this session, we were able to complete Act 2 and the Aftermath. The hard part about this week was the wrapping up the storyline. I am not very good at making up stories, but my playmates did a good job helping me through it. I…
