  • GOTW Reflection: Cursed Court

    As with most of the games we’ve played since the start of the semester, this one was a little hard to understand at the beginning, as we struggled to figure out the aim and what we should be working towards. But after the first two rounds, we all began to play with intention as we…

  • GOTW Cursed Court

    This week we played Cursed Court. Cursed Court is a competitive bluffing and deductive game that is super fun. It is all based on wagering on who will end up showing at the end of the game. So far this is my favorite game we played. I think that it is really easy to pick…

  • 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…

  • GOTW: Fiasco Pt 2.

    Class Date: 2/19/2026 This week we concluded our playthrough of Fiasco, a GM-less improv game focusing on characters facing the consequences of different escapades going disastrously wrong. At the end of the first week, my group left off in a story with two characters trying to kill the other two. Due to absences between weeks,…

  • GOTW: Fiasco Pt 1.

    Class Date: 2/12/2026 This week was the start of our playthrough of Fiasco, a GM-less improv game for 3-5 players. This game focuses on getting the players to act out different escapades that are likely to go disastrously wrong. At the start of the game, players take turns choosing dice to define their relationship with…

  • 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…

  • GOTW Fiasco pt.2

    This week we finished up the act 2 of Fiasco. Unfortunately, I had to miss act 1 and the start of the game, so I joined in half way through the game which was a little difficult to start. This game in general is very difficult. You need to follow the rulebook the entire way…

  • 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…

  • Game of the Week Blog Reflection 2: Mechanics

    This week I played Herd Mentality which is a party game where someone asks a question and you write an answer that matches what the majority said, if you did not you were out of the herd. The hardest part about this game is we had a small group and were all around the same…

  • 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…
