This week we are free to play the game we want, and our group decided to play Incan Gold which we left and have no time to play it last week. I think it is very flexible that we can choose what we want to play. Luckily our group members are all first time playing with it but all now the rules. Incan gold is a very fun game to play in which each player pushes their luck as we head into the ruined temple and our goal is to find the most jewels. Each turn, a card is turned over which shows that increases the gold found in a temple or shows a hazard. Hazard cards like fire, snack, mummy, giant spider are what we want to avoid when we played. Because when the hazard card comes up more than twice, the disaster will occur and the round ends. All the jewels of players who have not returned to the camp are recovered. I think it is the riskiest part of the game. Every time when we want to explore new territory, more gems and dangers appear. If we choose to leave, those who remain in the temple may acquire a bigger share of jewels. 

Overall, the process of playing Incan Gold is very smooth because every group members have a chance to be the ultimate explorer and the winner with the most treasure. So it is very critical to decided when to stop since the hazard card will take out all you have acquired. It is related to me when I make some critical decisions, I will consider the consequence and then weigh the pros and cons when I made the decision. But usually, I am a very cautious person not willing to take any risk, and it is reflected in the Incan Gold. It is also tied to leadership since a good leader needs to make the decision based on the information we have. And the leader needs to consider the impact of the decision on the entire organization, so the balance of risk and safety is very important. 

Finally, I will definitely recommend this game to my family members, I think my parents would like to play Incan Gold and we will have a very exciting play process. The game is accessible, and a very high fun factor as a result of the press-your-luck element and simultaneous selection mechanic. And it keeps fun for everyone.     

this week we are playing i can’t stop on the tabletop simulator. can’t stop is one of the most exciting games i have played because its name illustrates everything: can’t stop! its rule is very simple. people just need to roll the dices and if the dices match the route you chose, you can go, if not, you will lose everything you have done in your turn. in this week’s game we have four players.i think i am the type of person who is willing to take risks because i don’t want to stop if i gain lots of the advantages in my turn. however, the result is not always fun. because i like taking risks, which means i never stop when i get the dices in my turn, i always return to where i was when the dices turn out to be not matching my route.

i like this game very much because you need some strategies to win the game. however, compared to the strategies you use, i think the most important factor that can determine whether you are going to win or lose is luck. if a person always gets what he or she wants, he or she will definitely win because this game is essentially a luck-based game. the session goes well because every player in the group is eager to win. moreover, because this game is not that hard and the rule is very simple, people in my group get familiar with the game in a very short time.

in my opinion, there is only one thing that i don’t like during the session, that is communication. because this game does not require much communication, people in my group are silent most of the time during the play session. i don’t criticize that my group is not talking, i just want they talk more to make the game more interesting.

this game is like speculating stock in the stock market. the dices are just like the stock, if you believe your are lucky, and your chosen stock’s price will increase in the future, you will earn the money. if not, you lose all of your money. because i am a finance major student, this game helps me realize the weakness i have. as for leadership, i think the leadership in this game is to tell people when to stop and when to take the risk. because this game does not entirely depend on the luck, people also need to use strategies to help them win the game. therefore my leadership here is to tell people when to take the risk and when they should use strategy to win.
