GOTW Fiasco pt.2
This week we finished up the act 2 of Fiasco. Unfortunately, I had to miss act 1 and the start of the game, so I joined in half way through the game which was a little difficult to start. This game in general is very difficult. You need to follow the rulebook the entire way…

To start off I will say the hardest part of the game was not the games fault more that I was sick the first week so I had to get the run down of what happened so far and was thrown into the action. I would say another hard part is coming up with ideas…

Blog Reflection 1: Ultimate Werewolf
For week 1, we played Ultimate Werewolf with our whole class, which was around 25 people. The game was brand new to me, however, I saw games like this on social media, such as mafia, Imposter, etc., so it made it a bit more enjoyable, making it easier to pick up on. Within the game,…

Game of the Week Blog Reflection 2: Mechanics
This week I played Herd Mentality which is a party game where someone asks a question and you write an answer that matches what the majority said, if you did not you were out of the herd. The hardest part about this game is we had a small group and were all around the same…

Blog Reflection 1: Ultimate WerewolfÂ
I played ultimate werewolf, a roleplaying game. It reminded me a lot of mafia or poison dart frog, which were not my favorite games, but it depends who you play with. In the game everyone was assigned a character, but no one else knew who you were unless you were a werewolf and you knew…

Some mechanics that we have seen previously in Ultimate Werewolf include, player elimination, hidden roles, deduction, variable player powers, and voting. After the presentation on game mechanics,…
