This is Game Day. Everyone brought a game to class for the sake of researching how games function. While playing the games we were to carefully examine the rules, story, goals etc...
There were many game to choose from, but I decided to choose something I was not familiar with which was Tarot cards. The Tarot cards gave this dark eerie feeling. The images were interesting and had a dark theme to it. While examining the cards, it was hard to tell what each card represented. Each of the cards told a different story, but since I'm not familiar with them i don't know what they are. The Tarots work by having a person choose a card randomly while thinking of a question about himself/herself. Then think about what the card means by looking at it. After that the symbolism of the card is explained to relate with the question that was asked. The Tarot can bring out different emotions depending on the questions you ask. It can lead to hope, sorrow and even fear depending on the question asked. It was quite an interesting type of game since it was new and different from anything other games I've played.
The second game I played was miniature basketball. We stuck the hoop on the window and began to play. The game rules are simple just throw the ball in the hoop like regular basketball, but with a smaller hoop and ball. This may look like people just throwing a ball in a hoop, but theres a lot to think about while playing. Aiming is important, you need to know where the hoop is. Math is a part of the game as well. You need to know how much arc is needed in your throws and the power required to get the ball to the hoop. It also is trial and error, if you fail you just adjust the power and angle then try again. This game doesn't have a definite rule. The rules are made by the players and the game as well the ball and hoop are just pieces of a game.
