January 14

Just a quick note regarding yesterdays post.  I put the wrong date at the top of the blog, but I hope that isn't a problem.

Today in class, we had the first round of games being taught to us.  In class I learned the game, Alhambra.  I probably misspelled the game name, but that game was incredibly fun.  It is a game to where to build a little city, but then you have resources that you can pick up, instead of purchasing more tiles for your city.  Once the rules were taught to our group, it seemed a little overwhelming, but once we started playing they came to you quickly and it was an easy game to pick up.  The game took more strategy than I thought it would, because you are not only purchasing stuff for youself, but you have to be aware of what the other players are playing and buying.  The game though, was a blast and I would definitely play it again.

The second game taught to me was Legendary.  It is a card stacking game dealing with super heroes.  You can buy superheroes and some of them have special attributes that will allow you to do more actions.  After you gather enough superheroes you are able to start attacking the "henchmen" and in effect getting victory points.  The game sounded super confusing when he started to explain it, but as we started playing it started making more and more sense.  I think the game would be fun to play again, if I had a group who knew what they were doing, and would be willing to help.  Once you learned the rules and how to play quicker the game can be fun, but you have to be willing to dedicate time to playing it.  The game is a competition to see who will win, but you can also work together in some instances to help everyone out or you can hurt everyone.
