Playing Fiasco this week was a little easier than when we initially started out. I began to understand, for the most part, what the game was meant to look like. My role was clearer, and I was able to effectively use the relationships and tools we had picked out the previous week to play the…

In week 1 of class, we played Ultimate Werewolf. I had previously played the One Night variant of the game and had played Mafia in the past, but playing the longer form of Werewolf was a new experience for me, especially with the size of the group we played with! I believe that we had…
