Week 4 Reflection & 5 Building Ideas

Review:

In week 4, we first played Nanobots. I got a very thorough understanding of this game and I really enjoyed it. It was fairly easy to learn and understand. Each turn was justified by the action card and the players strategy. I feel like this was a game of chance but also a game of strategy. Even if the player had a great strategy, the action cards picked by their opponents could easily kill them. As for the other game, we didn’t have time to thoroughly play the game, but from what we did get to do, it was very confusing. I was not a big fan of this game. There was a very long list of rules that didn’t really make sense.

5 Building Games:

  1. Train
    In this game, you will build a train to travel across the world. The cards you pick will gain you money, parts, or passengers. The bigger your train gets, the more protection and supplies you will need.
    If you do not have the required parts for the amount of passengers, your passengers will die. You have to save as many people as possible.
  2. Blocks
    There will be blocks of different sizes and colors. You will pick up a card telling you what block to pick up. You must strategically build your tower as high as possible without it falling. Once a block is placed it cannot be moved. Whoever has the highest tower wins.
  3. Duck Crossing
    Each player will have 4 ducks. Each duck has a character card that tells you their needs. You must gain money and supplies to build a river for the ducks to swim in. If you do not fulfill the needs of a duck, they die. Whoever saves the most ducks wins.
  4. Office Building
    Players will pick a card with a company on it and their requirements. Players will pick cards giving them supplies and/or money. Using these, they will have to build an office building for their company. You must fulfill all of the needs of your company to win.
  5. Color Match
    Each player will pick two colors (RGBY). They will have 30 tokens per each color. Players lay one token per turn. The goal is to get three of the same color in a row before the other player disrupts it. Once all of the tokens run out, the player with the most matches wins.
