Day #1 - Meet your fellow gamers!

Class #1 - Intro

Games Played: Apples to Apples, Perudo & Pictures and Propositions

It's our first day of class, and since it's a games class...what's better than a set of "get to know each other games" to help us break the ice.

We started off with Perudo, a dice game where you bluff to win!  After a few go arounds, it was cool to see how each person started to "come out of their shell." Mr. David took over as the games leader, Jason turned out to be the "quiet type" who was in the lead for most of the game, and I seemed to take the role of group, "Antagonizer"
After that, we played a round of Apples to Apples where I learned about who is more, "serious" and "funny" showed through. We had a round where "Hillary Clinton," did not auto-win the category it was placed in.

Finally, we played Pictures and Propositions.  It might have just been because it was near the end of the class for my group, but I cannot say I cared much for the game. It was fun to joke around and see how the messages would be distorted along the way, but other than that it just seemed like a bunch of "sitting around" with little pay off at the end.

All in all thou, it was a fun first day. I'm very excited what sort of things I'll get to experience in this class. Until Next time
