Day #8 - The Day I tried to Co-op

Day #8 - Co-op Games!
Games Played: Shadows Over Camelot

Welcome back to our excited (and occasionally updated) G&C blog, Hooray! As it's the start of a new class week, our class will be playing Cooperative games today.

My group ended up playing "Shadows Over Camelot" where you take the role of one of the knights of the round table and attempt to keep various Evil forces at bay, while completed quests to earn, "The Holy Grail," "Excaliber" and other items! However it's not quite so simple, because half the time, one of the knights is a traitor! (Ohhh ahhh gahh Scary!!!)

Anywho, our game was a little scatterbrained......We started off trying to do everything we possibly could, Our fearless leader attempted to get excailaber, our Lord Tom attempted to get the holy grail back, and I was busy fighting off a random Saxon invasion. However, after we all almost got killed, we decided it may be best to rethink our strategy, as we were all losing pretty badly... So after regrouping, we all went out, after one quest, beat it pretty easily, and then won the game because of it. Hooray!

As a note on the game itself, even thou we had won the game, It felt unsatisfying as a win because there was so much left we had too do. I mean we beat the Saxons and the Picts, twice, but then we lost to the black knight as well as almost losing Excalibur and we just barely won by getting the Holy Grail. What annoyed me was that doing all the quests wasn't necessary  at all to winning the game, so it didn't feel like we really accomplished anything when we won.

Anywho, that's my basic rundown of Shaodws over Camelot!
