These days were the last of out in-game class days, and though it is a tad sad it's still exciting because we get to present our games in class on Monday and Tuesday. Thursday I ended up playing Fresco, which was an interesting game focused on acquiring paints to mix to paint a mural for a Cathedral. I liked the overall mood of this game, it's kind of like Ticket to Ride in that it's a friendly competition. You choose what time your character wakes up to buy paints and then paint the Cathedral to get victory points. The one funniest part about this game was I sometimes forgot my basic colors and what makes them! But I liked it a lot overall, and I would definitely play it again.
Friday was Werewolf, which is a variation of Mafia that is focused somewhat on luck and your ability to defer attention away from yourself. The first round I was the first person killed, so I didn't really get to enjoy it that much though it was interesting to see the people who were the Werewolves deflect attention away from themselves and even convince people they were legitimate for a little bit. The second round had everyone in class participating, and we included many of the other cards that add effects. The end result was a little bit of a mess, I felt we had a little too many people, and the effects kind of dragged out the game more than I think it needed to. I accidentally got two innocent villagers killed though, so I kind of feel I'm not necessarily meant for Werewolf. It's not really my cup of tea.
Tomorrow is our presentation for our game, and although I'm somewhat nervous, I'm also really excited to show off what we've been working on. We had a lot of fun playtesting so I'm hoping that transcribes over to others!
