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…

Fiasco week 2 reflection
To start off I will say the hardest part of the game was not the games fault more that I was sick the first week so I had to get the run down of what happened so far and was thrown into the action. I would say another hard part is coming up with ideas…

Blog Reflection 1: Ultimate Werewolf
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…

Game Mechanics Blog reflection
In class we played the game “Can’t Stop”. I would say the hardest part about the game is that it heavily depends on luck, but also whoever goes first has a better advantage. The goal of the game is to get 3 game pieces to the end of the board before everyone else. Players can…

Ultimate Werewolf reflection
I would say the hardest part to playing ultimate werewolf is deciding on who to vote out. The only way to deduct if someone is a werewolf is if the seer can detect if someone is one. If the seers are dead it’s just a bunch of luck mostly. Most of the time voting comes…
