Tabletop Leadership

The second week of Fiasco began with determining the tilt. The result was adding a new character investigating a stolen lemonade cart, and one of the the criminals regretting their actions. The two rival lemonade stands now have to deal with legal issues of determining whose cart was stolen. Meanwhile my cousin’s revenge escalated to…

Fiasco is a game of collaborative story telling. Compared to other roleplaying games like D&D it is much lighter on rules. To me it feels more like a collection of improv skits that put together tell an intriguing story. For me this style of improv is one of the biggest challenges of the game. When…

The second week of the Fiasco game went a lot better. The second week of the game is easier than the first week because you have previous experience and a general direction. In this game, everyone no longer feels strange before, so everyone’s conversations are more arbitrary. By the second week, I think the difficult…

In the fourth week, we played Fiasco, a game with very few rules and props. It’s more like a random set of characters, and then you are the screenwriter to design the plot and you need to act out the plot you designed. I often feel overwhelmed when I first start a game. Because everything…

Mysterium is the first time I’ve come into contact with a group cooperative reveal type game and it’s a board game. Knowing the rules I thought it was going to be a very complicated and exhausting game, and as I played it with the group, I realized it was more fun than I thought. First…

In last week’s Mysterium game, we were divided into 3 groups. Because many of our classmates were playing this game for the first time, we chose an experienced classmate to play the ghost. He knew that each player was looking for What is the suspect, location and murder weapon, and through the cards he draws,…

Through the first week of the Werewolf game, I found a lot of interesting aspects. First of all, everyone’s style is different. Some people like to protect good people as their identity when speaking with their werewolf identity. And the good people who stand on the wrong side will be referred to as werewolves by…

This week playing Fiasco was interesting. I’m not sure what the normal group dynamic is playing this game but I played with a group of friends that all knew each other and I had a fun time, but I don’t think we played the game very seriously. It was humorous, and we spent 90% of…

While I was one of the people in the class who had played Mysterium before it was my first time playing as the ghost. As the ghost I had a significant leadership role at the table. As the only player who knew what cards belonged to each player I had to give hints to them…
