    This was week 2 of playing fiasco and I really felt the progress and got into it this week. It was so much fun that I decided to do the fiasco playset assignment. I’ve been on a bit of a kick for both westerns and space things so  it works out that I got to…

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection: Fiasco Week 2

    This week, we continued playing the role player game which is called Fiasco. Last week, our group just finished the setup, so this week we begin to create several scenes, and we just get to the tilt. During the class session, we have only 4 players which we normally have 5. So, we decided to…

  • Game of the Week Blog: Fiasco Week 2

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection: Fiasco

    This week in class we played another role-playing game called Fiasco. In our first session, we set up the game in Boom Boomtown and established boundaries that we were not comfortable crossing with the consent checklist.
