Week 4 Discussion and Game Discussions

Game Reflections:

  • Dominion: Dominion first appeared like it would be a hard game to get the hang of, but I was surprised by how easy it was to learn. The game also had a great level of strategy to it, I had to be constantly planning out my next moves as well as dealing with unexpected circumstances such as pulling cards I didn’t need at the time or when other players would play cards that disrupted my hand. Overall a fun game that appears to have many interesting strategies that I would need multiple runs to learn.
  • Carcassonne: Carcassonne was a game I have actually played a bit beforehand so I already knew some things going into it. I just had to be given a brief refresher on the rule and I was ready to go. I feel the game is easy to understand but there is still a lot of strategy and luck that goes into playing this game well. Overall the game was as fun as I remember it being and I’m sure this won’t be the last time I revisit this game.

5 Game Ideas

  • Luck of the Flip: Luck of the Flip is a board game in which players flip a coin in order to move across the board, the amount of spaces they can move is equal to the amount of identical coin flips a player got in a row, the goal is to reach the end before the other players by landing on the most beneficial spaces and getting the best luck.
  • Land Ho!: Land Ho! is a board game in which players amass an army before landing on an undiscovered island, the players then fight to take total control of the new land by destroying the other players armies.
