January 9
Today was the first day of class, and we played three games in class today.  We played Perudo, Apples to Apples, and Pictures and Propositions.  I have only played Apples to Apples before, so playing these other games was a new experience.  Perudo was by far my favorite of the day, having to base your bet off of what everyone else had in their cups.  It was a game of semi strategy, and I love strategy games so it was a treat.  The rules in the beginning were a little confusing, but once we started playing it made more sense.  I thought that game was the best to play as a group because everyone had fun trying to bluff and lie to the other people at the table.  Pictures and Propositions was fun once it got to the end, and we were able to see how our initial sentence turned into something that most of us expected it to go.  The game was simple and was fun, except when it was frustrating when you didn't know how to draw or how to interpret what the drawing we had before us was.  Apples to Apples is a classic and everyone has fun.  The only thing that was hard about that game, is you need to know everyone really well so you can get obscure answers and it shall be funny.   It was still funny sometimes, but not as much as what it could have been if I was playing with my own friends.  Still always fun as it always is.  As Curt said in class, these games are good for ice breaker games, and I think they do that adequately well.  The group that we had the entire time had some good laughs.
