Library Games Night Reflection
I went to Library Games Night at the Arts and Architecture Library in Alumni Hall on October 7. Several of my friends from Meeples were there, but Library Games Night is very different from a Meeples meeting.

Ultimate Werewolf Reflection
This week in Tabletop Games and Leadership, we played Ultimate Werewolf. If you don’t already know this is a classic example of a social deduction game. We were assigned roles, either on the villagers’ side or the werewolves’ side, with many players having some form of special ability. The werewolves are hungry and each night…
