Last week in class we played Avalon, and I really enjoyed it.\u00a0 My favorite thing about it was how easy it was to pick up and learn, and also how quickly you can play it all the way through.\u00a0 I also really like how many people can play!\u00a0 I was the generic blue\/good character both times we played, so I\u2019d really like to play again sometime and either be blue and have a special power, or try out being red.\u00a0 I think the hardest thing about playing the game for me was that I never got to know anyone else\u2019s identities going into the game like everyone else, so I was always just having to guess if people were good or evil based on their votes, which didn\u2019t always work because a lot of times the evil characters were tricky.\u00a0 I also had relatively little information to go off of when trying to choose who to take on quests with me.\u00a0 Another aspect of the game I particularly appreciated was how you could vote on whether or not to let a quest occur, because that keeps the game from being broken in the evil characters\u2019 favor.\u00a0 For my specific case, this game taught me more about following than leading, because I did have a lot less knowledge than other people on who was good and who could potentially be evil.\u00a0 I just had to learn to trust others based on their votes, and then trust that the people they chose to quest with were probably also good.\u00a0 I usually just operated on a basis of trusting people until they proved me otherwise.\u00a0 I did accuse one other player of potentially being evil in the first game and she ended up being good, and that taught me a lesson in making assumptions and jumping to conclusions when I didn\u2019t have the proper information to do so.\u00a0 One of my best friends would love this game because she loves games of secret identity.\u00a0 From experience playing Werewolf with her, I know that she is so good at hiding when she is evil, so I would definitely want to be on the same side as her if we played this together.\u00a0 I actually ordered a copy of this game online for myself after playing it in class because I enjoyed it so much and it was so reasonably priced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
