This week we played voices in my head. It was a challenging but fun game where we all try to gain control of different parts of the brain. For the game, I was Selfishness. Which means that I wanted there to be equal or more innocent than there were guilty verdicts. Luckily, that is what happened. The guilty and innocents tied, so I ended up winning the game. It was me and another player who won, but two other players lost.

This game really taught me about collaboration. At first, I was in it to get control. We don’t know who’s who, so the beginning rounds are played with the most self-interest. however, at some point, I figured out who was who but didn’t stop trying for complete control. My mindset was so stuck that it was me against everyone, that it was difficult to switch up even though I had a good idea of who everyone was. Eventually, I saw the errors in my ways, and started working with the player who was on my side.

I think the hardest part about the game was that we were all brawling for control at the beginning. It’s hard to play when it is against everyone, but once teams start working together, things start to feel more progressive. I also think it is hard being on the innocent side because there are two players who fight for guilty and one for a certain amount of indecisive. And it’s really hard going against the prosecutor.

Overall, this game was fun and I recommend anyone else to play it at least once. I am definitely going to try to convince my family to play, if we ever get the game.
