Board games M-Term Day 2 (Tuesday) - Michelle

 On the first week, Tuesday, Dr. Q came in and taught us all about game theory, more specifically the Nash equilibrium and the prisoner’s dilemma. Personally, I knew a little bit about game theory but Dr. Q’s presentation taught me a lot more and it was fun. We got to play a couple games involving the game theory and Emma had won against everyone, it was pretty cool to discuss trust and how to take advantage of the other player. After that we played individual games in groups such as risk, uno, chess, and a couple of other things. After lunch we got to watch “A Beautiful Mind” which is a movie all about John Nash who created the game theory. It was a sad movie but very interesting we had a great time learning about it. For the rest of the day we played some games and discussed the movie.

      Today was the first day so we started by going over what we were going to be doing over the course of M-Term and our scheduled outings. after we did that, we got into 2 groups and played some board games such as Life, Uno, Clue, and Chess.         After that, we had lunch for about an hour, and when we came back, we started to work on our presentations about different games. We had to make a short presentation about what the game was, where it came from, how to play and anything that we thought was interesting about the game. We had planned to present them that day but decided to present them on Wednesday instead and played a group game called Mafia, which is a game with three roles, murder, healer, and detective.      Today was a fun start to our M-Term. We played some board games and worked on presentations about different games. I’m excited to share the presentations on Wednesday and learn more about what we will be do...

Day 3- Board Games M-Term (Michelle & Daniel)

 On day 3, the creator of Overcoffee came to speak with us. We played with the game and had a lot of fun. I loved being able to share with no judgment and I really think I will be playing this game more. She inspired a lot of us because she really listened to herself to create this game and I think the information she told us would help us create our own games.

Day 9: Art of Board Games (Kenna)

 Today, we spent the first hour of our day doing the finishing touches to our made-up board games. This included anything else in the game that needed to be completed, and doing test runs to ensure that the game worked well for the players. Then, for the remainder of the morning, we all spent time playing each other's board games. In the afternoon, Michelle's mom came as a visitor and taught everyone how to play Mahjong and gave useful tips and insight on the game. We all had a lot of fun presenting our games to one another and learning a new game to play.
