Cooperative Games
On Monday the class took to playing a multitude of cooperative games, which differ from other games in that the point is to win as a group (or one of multiple groups) instead of as an individual player. I was asked to teach 1812: The Invasion of Canada again, because it pits the American Regulars and Militia against the British Regulars, Canadian Militia, and Native Americans.
The other difference that day was the fact that the teachers were playing the game with the new players instead of sitting out. So, I got to play as the American Regulars, and as the end of the game period drew to a close, we ended the game in a tie; each side had three opponent forts/cities.
Once we finished our cooperative games, we broke out into groups playing random games, and I was able to teach three other people Stone Age, an interesting blend of resource-gathering, survival, and development, set of course, in the Stone Age. The game ended when class let out, leaving us with a game that could have gone any direction.
