I have never been much of a\nboard game player. I play every once in a while and only in social settings. I\nam never one to suggest playing a board game, but I am willing to if I see that\nwe can have good fun out of it. After taking this test I learned a lot about\nwhat my motivation is to play board games compared to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first category, I received a 37% conflict and 74% social manipulation. I have never been a very competitive person. I think playing with very competitive people usually takes the fun out of it for me. I look to have fun and laugh while playing board games instead of trying to win. Social manipulation scored high because I think it is fun to bluff or deceive the other players. It\u2019s different from being competitive because you can laugh about tricking your friends and it makes the game interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the next category, I received a 18% strategy and 4% discovery. I tend to prefer more relaxed games with less cognitive challenges involved. I like more fast-paced games that don\u2019t require a lot of pondering for each move. Discovery was my lowest score on the test and that is because I don\u2019t like to take the time and learn complex game mechanics. I prefer traditional gameplay that is easy and familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, I received a 60% immersion and 44% aesthetics. I definitely enjoy immersion in board games and other aspects of entertainment. I want to feel like I am a part of something that is out of this world. Having the ability to become a character while playing a boardgame is fun, but I don\u2019t want to spend the time learning an extensive background or complex stats about my character. To me, aesthetics is a plus, but it is not necessarily important. I feel that aesthetics helps a little bit with immersion so I will never complain about that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, my highest score on the test is a 84% social fun. This is my main reason why I\u2019d participate in a board game. I enjoy having fun with other people. It is not about winning to me, but just enjoying the process with friends and having a good laugh. I also scored a 58% cooperation because I believe it can be fun to work together with your friends to reach a common goal. It is always satisfying when you work with someone else to beat another group of people. Even though I scored low on conflict, working with someone else can really enhance the social fun aspect of a board games when you are cooperating with your peers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
