  • Attend & Reflect on a Campus Gaming Event-Recon

    The on-campus gaming event I went to this semester was Recon from March 4th through March 6th. On Friday during Recon the first event I did was the geek seek scavenger hunt. The riddles were easy to solve and the final code being recon was a bit obvious after the second letter, but it was…

  • Creating a City in Carcassonne

    Because my group decided not to continue playing T.I.M.E Stories, we decided to play Carcassonne this week. Carcassonne is modeled after a real French city, and you play the game by building a puzzle and claiming cities, roads, land, rivers, and monasteries. As one person lays down a tile on the game, it will have…

  • Trying Out T.I.M.E Stories

    This game seems to have so much potential and I would love to play it again, but hopefully with people that have played it before. My favorite thing about this game is the artwork and the mystery aspect. I felt like I was somewhat in a video game or a movie. I wish that I…

    For the last game in class my group finished the Marcy Case in T.I.M.E. Stories. We started off by exploring the other starting locations we hadn’t been to yet which finished off our first and second loop. We had a lot of events in our second loop that wasted a lot of time so we…

  • Ladies & Gentlemen: Insights From A Lovely Lady

    Ladies and Gentlemen was overall a pretty fun game, I thought I would really suck at it but it was pretty decent. I would like to play the game again and see if there’s more to it because I feel like I didn’t fully understand the whole strategy aspect of the game. As playing the…

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection Week 12-Free Play

    For week 12 I played Carcassonne as my group’s free play game. I had never played this game before, but I really enjoyed it. The hardest part about this game was forming a strategy. It is a pretty simple game, however there was a level of strategy to it. Having never played, I was unsure…

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection Week 11- T.I.M.E. Stories Week 1

    In class we played the game T.I.M.E.. Some people played the game two weeks in a row, but I chose to only play it the first week. For me the hardest part was understanding the rules. I was very confused by the rules to the point that I couldn’t even focus on the mystery aspect.…

Stories is a cooperative card-based game that requires the players to travel throughout time to uncover and prevent faults in time itself. Your team works together by possessing the bodies of people present at the…
