Our class continued with the same…

  • Playing Fiasco on Tabletop Simulator

    Fiasco Fiasco was, as promised, a fiasco. As expected, the Tabletop Simulator was difficult to navigate, especially since I’m currently stuck using a trackpad. Otherwise the game went as many do, with a lot of confusion and chaos. It was hard to work off of the energy of the other players like you can in…

  • Fiasco Week 2

    This week we played the second part of Fiasco and we only have time to complete Act Two of the game. After the relationships, objects, needs, and locations are defined, our group then takes a turn in part two of Fiasco. I feel like it is like a shared narrative game because I and my…

  • Fiasco – Part 2

    This week we continued playing Fiasco from where we left off last week. Overall the game went well. I have to thank my group as I had wisdom teeth surgery the day before this class and so wasn’t feeling great and they supported me in that. They let me take a smaller role in Act…

  • Fiasco (Week 1)

    The first week of Fiasco was interesting to say the least. I love the idea of a game that isn’t centered around winning, rather relying the creativity of the players to build a crazy story. It took me back to my days when I used to do theatre in high school. The game requires a…

  • Fiasco Week 1 Reflection

    This week we played the first part of Fiasco and we only have time to complete the first section which is roll dice and select relationship with other players. The special part of Fiasco is that it is a storytelling board game and it also requires some creativity. Since we need to set up a…

  • Game of the Week- Fiasco

    this week we played Fiasco, which to me seems like a role-playing game. people design the relationship with each other by rolling dice. there are six basic relationships, and my favorite one is crime relationship because i can make lots of stories on this role. relationship is the most important thing in this game, at…

  • Fiasco – Part 1

    This week we played the first session of Fiasco. This was a game I was very timid to play as I have never played a role playing game and the idea of it really intimidated me. I am not a very creative person, so I was nervous about having to make different scenes. The hardest…
