Review:
Last week, out of the two games, Pandemic was my favorite. I like how involved it was and how it was easy to connect with it emotionally. I feel like the game made it seem like you were in a real life situation, and you felt responsible any time there was an outbreak or a city was destroyed. I also like how everyone had to work together in order to succeed, which meant there had to be a lot of communication. As for the panda game, I liked how this game had a strategic value but for me it wasn’t as easy to connect to. It was very confusing at first and took a few rounds to get the hang of. This game was odd because everyone kind of had to work together, but at the same time you were competing against one another.
Game Themes:
1. Crime—this would be a board game where every player is a different character. There would be cards that lead you through the game that will either help or hurt you from finding the criminal. Whoever detects the criminal first wins. If no one detects the criminal and the criminal gets to his destination first, he wins.
2. Love Match—make love matches between different characters based upon likes and dislikes that are on the character card.
3. Money—test your strategy on making and saving money.
4. College Life—based upon personality, interests, and location, players will have to find the best college for their character and help them survive it.
5. Wizards—each player will have a character that is a different wizard with different capabilities. Players will race to the finish line using their powers against one another.
