Week one reflection: Ultimate Wolf
This game was a fun introduction game to the class. This game is similar to among us where there are 3 imposters, and the rest are villagers.

Mysterium Reflection
The game we played in class was Mysterium. This has been my favorite game so far. I played as one of the psychics. I really enjoyed trying to figure out what the ghost was thinking about when they selected the vision cards. Often the things that stood out in the vision cards to me was…

Forbidden Island Reflection
The game I played in class was Forbidden Island. I had never played a cooperative game before and thought it was really fun.

What Type of Gamer Am I?
Overall, I agree with Quantic Foundery’s assessment of my inner gamer. As long as everyone is having fun while also focusing on the game itself, I end up having a blast.

fiasco week 1
This week we played fiasco! At first I wasn’t too interested in it but once I watched the videos and read a bit it really got my wheels turning. It is a fast-paced diceless RPG which revolves around snap choices and improv. It seems more complex than it is at first glance but we really…
