GOTW Reflection: Fiasco Week 2
Playing Fiasco this week was a little easier than when we initially started out. I began to understand, for the most part, what the game was meant to look like. My role was clearer, and I was able to effectively use the relationships and tools we had picked out the previous week to play the…

Cursed Court Reflection
This week I played cursed court, a game of betting and bluffing. I think the hardest part is when you have two of the same card shared with the other players. You can guarantee a good bet on a character but you are kinda left to just guess what you think could be there. I…
