They are called Incan Gold and Can\u2019t stop. For the Incan Gold,\nthe whole round has five small rounds, for each small round, players will\ndecide to continue their adventure to gain more golds or quit to make sure they\ndo not lose their golds for this small round. After these five small rounds,\nthe player who owns the most golds win the game. For the Can\u2019t stop, players\nhad to roll four dices and add each two of them up as they want. Players will move\ntheir pawns based on the numbers (sum) they get, each number has a column and\nthe player who reaches the top of any three number\u2019s columns will win the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the class session, our group first\nplayed the game Incan Gold. I think the hardest point of playing Incan Gold is\nyou need to think whether to take risks to gain more golds or quite to maintain\nyour golds, and you also need to think what other players will do. For example,\nin the second small round, one of our group members decided to quit when we met\nthe first hurdle, because the rule is if you met the same hurdle twice, you will\ndie and you will lose all the golds you gain during this small round. Me and\nanother player decided to continue until we met the second hurdle, but this is\nnot the same as the first hurdle. So, another group member decided to quit because\nwe already met two different hurdles, and the risk of continuing becomes double.\nHowever, I am a person who likes to take risks, so I chose to continue,\nfortunately I gained 11 more golds in the next scene, since I was the only\nplayer left, I got all the 11 golds. However, on the fourth round, I lost all my\ngolds for the round because I took the risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the game Can\u2019t stop, I think the hardest\npoint is also to make a good strategy of taking risks. In this game, there are\nsome short columns like 2 and 12 which only have 3 or 4 steps to win, but 2 and\n12 are very difficult to get. There are also some long columns like 6,7, and 8,\nwhich need 8,9 or 10 steps to win. So, making a good strategy about the\ncombination of high-risk columns and low-risk columns are very important. One\nof our group members did a great job on this, he chose the columns of 4, 8, and\n12, which included high-risk column (12), low-risk column (8) and the middle-risk\ncolumn (4), and he won this game during the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think these two games went very well in our\ngroup. We all had a great time during the class sessions. As the same of other\nclassmates said, I also think that Incan gold might be a little bit more interesting\nthan Can\u2019t stop since it has a sense adventure but not just count the sum of\ntwo dices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think the leadership aspects of these two\ngames are the ability to keep calm thought and the courage to take risks. As a\nleader, you must keep a calm thought when you make choices because your decisions\nwill influence not only you but the people around you. Leaders should always\nmake the choices based on the situation they are in, so it is important to keep\ncalm when you make choices. A leader also needs to have the courage to take\nrisks when it is necessary, because leaders should always take the responsibility\nof failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we played two games during the class session.
