Escape from Atlantis was my favorite game that we played all semester. I really enjoyed that there was some sort of skill involved in the game, however it was part luck as well. We were able to play two games and by the second game, I started to better realize the more strategic ways to place my characters on the board. However with that being said, it all depended where the other players in game decided to place the various sea creatures, that would ultimately kill your people. The hardest part about the game was not having any control over the outcome of what the other players decided. Also it was difficult to decide what land piece to pick, because you never knew if there would be a whirlpool or a red card that could benefit you later on in the game. I can see this game tying into leadership because it shows how you don’t always have control over every situation. Different scenarios can play out in a multitude of ways, and you have to overcome the hurdles (i.e. getting hit with a whirlpool) as they come and go. It also really made me reflect on the values that I had written down on my note card, because throughout the game I realized that the values I mentioned were truly being tested throughout the game. I could see my housemates really enjoying this game. Every week we spend time playing some sort of board game, and to be honest I think they would have a lot of fun trying to find ways to get their characters to rack up the most points.
