- Based on the website https://www.whatbeatsrock.com, What Beats Rock: The Home Game. Players take turns naming an item that could “beat” the previous item (or a rock if you’re first) and the other players act as judges to decide if their item would “beat” the previous item.
- Dice Stack. A deck of cards tells the players a required dice roll and a required formation to stack the dice once they are rolled. Player who does it first gets a point.
- SHOE-ffleboard, A large twister-like mat/board is set up and players take turns throwing either their own shoes or smaller shoe item onto it for points.
- Players take turns placing cards from a standard deck in a pile while naming the card placed before them. If they mess up, they take the pile. First to run out of cards wins.
- For a while I’ve wondered if I can host a game of Survivor on campus for a club or a Rmu TV project. People would get broken into teams, each round a team would win Immunity and the losing team would have to vote someone out. Then everyone gets split up individually, voting continues, etc. until s jury votes for the winner.
Fluxx -Colin Kenny
- Every time I played Fluxx last semester and this time, it has been a good mix of fun and chaotic.
- It was kind of awkward playing with people who didn’t know the rules. I liked playing more with Evan and Gideon who can enhance the game with their competitive spirit and chaotic energy.
- I think it only took me like ten minutes max to learn the base game when I played back in the spring.
- I definitely would always take up the opportunity to play again.
