Tabletop Leadership

This week I played cursed court, a game of betting and bluffing. I think the hardest part is when you have two of the same card shared with the other players. You can guarantee a good bet on a character but you are kinda left to just guess what you think could be there. I think my brother would enjoy the game.

I would say a leadership example is taking the leap and people following. When a player would bet on a character and people would start voting on different bets around the character. Which can be very funny with bluffing, like my friend kept betting that there was a jester… There was no Jester. There were a lot of times where people would place bets on something hoping there was a card there, then others would start betting because they thought the other player knew there was that card.

In the game we played we tended to lock in one solid bet and try to get other bets that worked. Some players would save all their chips to steal, I tended to drop like 9-11 chips on a really good bet that usually worked out for me. People also decided to play a lot of chips early on, like one game where someone played 18 chips to steal a bet, which I’m not sure if it even paid out. There were also times I sniped some bets that I knew would succeed while other players didn’t know. I ended up winning, but it was really close with 2nd place being 1 point behind.
