This week we played the\ngame Ladies and Gentlemen. This game places you into teams of two and has a\nvery sort of endearing way of encouraging you to roleplay during the game. By\noften having the opposite gender roles on each side of the team, it is\nintentionally paradoxical, and funny how disregarding it is of the culture upon\nwhich the game is referenced. One player plays as the husband\/\u2019breadwinner\u2019 and\nthe other plays as a Victorian era wife. A team wins by having the most\ndecadently dressed wife at the ball at the end of the game. The hardest part of\nthe game seemed to be the helplessness felt when your \u2018husband\u2019 seemed incompetent\nat manipulating the in-game economy. As a result, there could be some fun lost from\nknowing early on that you did not have much of a chance of winning the game. Fun\ncould thankfully be regained by screwing over the other two teams and\nroleplaying though. I think this could be a very frustrating game for anyone\nwho was highly competitive if their teammate was deemed unconducive to winning\nthe game. This game I think really encourages the ladies to be leaders and\nrequest things of their husbands in order to of course win the game. The\nhusbands also have to be leaders at times too though when they decide what the\nwoman can be allowed to buy. I think my mother would like this game because she\nis a fun roleplayer in board games I played with her in the past. Overall, to\nme this game was just alright as it was not really my kind of game but I could\nsee where some people might find it more enjoyable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
