Evelyn: Review of Firework Game and Italian Risk

I don’t remember what the games’ actually names are.

1. Was it fun?
   • The Firework Game was fun depending on who you play with.
   • Italian risk was so intimidating we didn’t even play. It seemed similar to Risk but tinier.
2. What were the player interactions?
   • In the Firework Game, players had to help each other choose the best cards to play in order to complete the firework card sets (they resembled Solitaire). The catch was you never see your own card until you play it! The game is all about your “verbal resources.”
3. How long did it take to learn?
   • The Firework Game was easy to learn.
   • The original directions for Italian Risk were in Italian. We never learned to play.
4. Would you play it again?
   • Maybe I would play the Firework Game. I would definitely choose others over it.
   • Definitely not Italian Risk
5. Analyze the game using the 3 act structure.
   • First Act was learning the rules and beginning to play. Second Act was developing a strategy with your teammates. Third Act was either completion of the “firework sets” or defeat (if the time ran out).
6. What are the collaborative and or competitive aspects of the game?
   • This game was purely collaborative. You had to help each other choose the best card to play without looking at your own. You all won or you all lost.
