Game of the Week Reflection: Mysterium
Mysterium is my favorite cooperative game that I’ve played so far in this class. After messing around with Ultimate Werewolf the first week and Pandemic the next one, there’s something different about mysterium, and the uniqueness is capitalized in the cooperative experience. Players aren’t forced to communicate which is something I felt when playing Ultimate…

Ultimate Werewolf: A Class Reflection
It is the first week of class and we play Ultimate Werewolf. Coming into this class time I had played Werewolf before, but mostly with extended family.

Game of the Week Blog Reflection Week 12-Free Play
For week 12 I played Carcassonne as my group’s free play game. I had never played this game before, but I really enjoyed it. The hardest part about this game was forming a strategy. It is a pretty simple game, however there was a level of strategy to it. Having never played, I was unsure…
