- Was it fun?
- I have played many times before, but I played it last night, September 3rd, with my roommates. I have played this game before with my now boyfriend and have since bought one of the other expansion packs, so I would say this game is definitely fun.
- What were the player interactions?
- As far as this round of playing the game, the player interactions start from very trivial questions about each other, sort of seeing you know what surface-level questions you can assume about the person, and eventually dig deeper into some really reflective topics, all the while learning about yourself and the other person.
- How long did it take to learn?
- Honestly, playing this with a bunch of people took a little getting used to stepping into each round, but no more than 3 minutes, and that’s even being generous on how long it took us to learn how to play the game. I honestly think the goal of the game is to learn something new about another person or find a little bit more empathy for others.
- What was the most frustrating moment or aspect of what you just played?
- The most frustrating moment of this game was trying to get through the game without pulling wild cards. I understand their point; however, I feel like when people play, that’s not the focus or any really important part of it.
- What was your favorite moment or aspect of what you just played?
- My favorite moment about the game was probably during the second level, where I think a lot of the emotions started to kick in. This is where I sort of got to step out of my own person and see how others viewed me as well as how I viewed them, and I think that’s a really special moment to share with people you love.
- Was there anything you wanted to do that you couldn’t?
- I really wanted to be able to keep some sort of answering structure within the game as to who answers what questions during the game.
- If you had a magic wand to wave, and you could change, add, or remove anything from the experience, what would it be?
- If I had a magic wand to wave and I could change something from the experience of this game, I would honestly say it would be to remove the wild cards and maybe make clearer instructions on how groups of more than two should approach answering these questions.
- Is this a game you would play again? Yes _____ No ______ Why
- Obviously, this is something I would play again and would love to continue purchasing expansion packs simply because there has never been a time when I played this game and didn’t get something out of it or learn something about myself or another person.
- Analyze the game using the 3 act structure.
- As far as this game running in the three act structure I think especially the way the game makers wanted people to interact with this game was through the three questions obviously with the first level you’re getting to know people by surface level questions then you move on to little more touching subjects within the second act and then within the third act it’s a reflection of what you learned from yourself and the people around you and how everyone answered their own questions that you begin to discover more about everyone in different ways.
