Day 4 - Board Game M-term (Daniel)

 To start off day four of our M term, Mr Roddy came in and taught us how to play “Murder” which is very similar to the game “sorry”. “Murder” is not sold in stores but many people create their own boards from wood. After a couple rounds of “Murder”, we took a break and had lunch. After lunch, we took turns presenting our presentations on the board games we chose the first day (clue, risk, chess, monopoly, etc.) We discussed the history of the games, different strategies and we people play the game today. It was very interesting to learn about and play “Murder” because it was very unique, being a game with the rules passed down and people having to create their own “murder” boards. This made me understand that board games are much more than just entertainment. Board games are a way of connecting with people and building strong relationships.

      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)

Image
 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.
