Abandon Ship

We played Abandon Ship in class, where were playing as a bunch of rats racing to the top before the ship sinks. I manged to earn 5 points the first round and 8 the second round. Now first playing even when the directions were explained to me I completely blanked and got confused to play, being intimidated by the competition. Playing through a little bit I began to understand the concept of the game and the dynamics set in motion and got the concept of the whole game. I don't remember if i got either third or second place overall, but either way I hope to get some extra points on the next quiz. While playing I felt determined to win since I haven't won a game or gotten first place.
