Game of the Week Blog Reflection 3: Fiasco Week 1
This week we started our game of Fiasco. It is a group improv acting game. The hardest part about the game is not actually playing the game, but setting up location, character motives and relationships. You are just surrounded by choice and do not know exactly what it all means for you and your character…

GOTW Fiasco pt.2
This week we finished up the act 2 of Fiasco. Unfortunately, I had to miss act 1 and the start of the game, so I joined in half way through the game which was a little difficult to start. This game in general is very difficult. You need to follow the rulebook the entire way…

Game Reflection: Ultimate Werewolf
I’ve played games like Ultimate Werewolf before, I’ve even logged an embarrassing amount of time in the quicker single night version (aptly named, “1 Night Ultimate Werewolf”). I am not a fan of these kinds of games. I’m sure it has something to do with my social abilities, skills at reading people, and ability to…

Game Mechanic, Week 2
In week 2, we learned about game mechanics. For the first half of class, we went through a slide deck of all the mechanics that were known in games, for the most part. I recognized some of these mechanics, and just never identified them as mechanics. I think it was cool to see all the…

It was really interesting to understand the different types of mechanics there are, and we were able to practice this by playing one of the games in class, and used BoardGameGeek to list the mechanics used in the game.…

Blog Reflection 1: Ultimate Werewolf
For week 1, we played Ultimate Werewolf with our whole class, which was around 25 people. The game was brand new to me, however, I saw games like this on social media, such as mafia, Imposter, etc., so it made it a bit more enjoyable, making it easier to pick up on. Within the game,…

Game of the Week Blog Reflection 2: Mechanics
This week I played Herd Mentality which is a party game where someone asks a question and you write an answer that matches what the majority said, if you did not you were out of the herd. The hardest part about this game is we had a small group and were all around the same…

Blog Reflection 1: Ultimate WerewolfÂ
I played ultimate werewolf, a roleplaying game. It reminded me a lot of mafia or poison dart frog, which were not my favorite games, but it depends who you play with. In the game everyone was assigned a character, but no one else knew who you were unless you were a werewolf and you knew…

Blood On The Clocktower game review
Blood on the Clock Tower was a very fun game in class. The hardest part of the game for me was understanding my role. Unlike werewolf, the roles were more complex, and it was hard to understand not only your role but also other people’s roles. You have to be a leader in this game…

Werewolf game reflection
The game “werewolf” was my favorite game of the year. The hardest part of the game was trying to gain trust in people. Another hard part was trying to figure out who you could trust. This game teaches leadership by forcing you to speak up to the group about what you know. You want to…
