  • Compare/Contrast: Werewolf and Blood on the Clocktower

    The games Werewolf and Blood on the Clocktower are both excellent social deception games, though they both offer unique upsides and downsides to prospective gamers who may be considering playing them. Werewolf, at its core, is a game that does not need unique materials to be played, and I have played it on some occasions…

  • Blood on the Clocktower Review

    James BakerMr. Bragg11/09/23EDL290T A Blood on the Clocktower For starters, I really enjoyed Blood on the Clock Tower and I’d say it was one of my favorite games we’ve played so far. The hardest part for me was one of two things being either trying to account for all the possible roles that could mess…

  • Week one reflection: Ultimate Wolf

    This game was a fun introduction game to the class. This game is similar to among us where there are 3 imposters, and the rest are villagers. The session we played in class was really fun and filled with people laughing with one another. While this was happening people was being called out for them…

  • Library Games Night Reflection

    I went to Library Games Night at the Arts and Architecture Library in Alumni Hall on October 7. Several of my friends from Meeples were there, but Library Games Night is very different from a Meeples meeting. The group of people is generally much smaller, which makes it better suited for playing strategy board games…

  • Fiasco (Week One) Reflection

    In week 4 of class, we played a Role Playing Game (RPG) called Fiasco. This was an entirely novel experience for me as I’ve never played an RPG before.

  • Ultimate Werewolf Reflection

    In our first week of class, we played a turn-based game called Ultimate Werewolf, where two teams were pitted against each other, the villagers, and you guessed it, the werewolves. Each “night,” the werewolves had a chance to get together and choose a villager to kill. Most times, this would work out, unless there was…

  • Werewolf Reflection

    Personally I was a huge fan of werewolf. I like the class atmosphere and I know for a fact everyone in there liked it too. All the people seemed to be having so much fun and they all were engaging in conversation and just enjoying the experience. I know from personal experience what that game…

  • T.I.M.E Stories Reflection – Week 2

    On April 20th our class had a choice to either dive deeper into the adventures of T.I.M.E Stories or to participate in free play. Although my group and I encountered many struggles during our first session the week before, we chose to challenge ourselves and continue playing T.I.M.E Stories. The scenario we played was the…
