The game I chose to play in class was Secret Hitler. The hardest part about it was keeping track of all the unlocked powers on the board as you advance and also to remember when you can ask the chancellor if they are Hitler. The ties that it has to leadership are that you have to work with your other team members whether you are a liberal or fascist in order to achieve the goal of winning. You have to show leadership by taking initiative in your own hands when you are president and choose who you think is trustworthy. I think that my sister would enjoy this game because it was a little more complicated than Avalon even though it was a similar concept and shes good at being deceptive.

game of the week blog reflection #1
On this day we played a game called Avalon in class. I had never heard of it before being introduced to it that day. The hardest part about it is how you have to be deceptive in your moves in order to not reveal who your character is. This is hard because you want to lead your side to victory without blatantly letting others know your intentions. because then they will be thwarted. Some of the ties it has with leadership are when it is your turn to be the “leader” and you get to choose who will come along your quest with you. The entire round and outcome basically depends on your choice of people because they could be god or evil (and your choice also depends on whether or not you are good or evil). I think that one of my friends on the volleyball team, Katie, would really enjoy playing this game because she enjoys being secretive and knowing things that other people don’t know. She also had a leadership role on our team (captain) and likes that kind of power.
