Ticket to Ride
This was an okay game, although I really wished I watched the rest of the video for this game. After I started to realize that this game was in a way the same as Trans America. So I began to get the hang of it, although I felt it took too long to get through, the other team finished their game before we did. I think the only entertainment was when Fabian was getting beat on lol. Good times I will not forget. At one point I will admit it felt like I was elementary school again, preferably third grade when my teacher yelled at me just because I couldn't answer a question. Anyways I felt a lot of tension while playing this game, I wasn't even concerned with winning or really understanding what the concept of the game was, but rather how fast can we get this game over with, only because being it's finals week, and I needed to get my finals done.

I think this was one of my favorite games we have played. It was simple but it reminded me of Hungry Hungry Hippo for some reason. I liked how we had to get the plane hit the other player's chickens. I really wanted to win, in the back of my head all I could think of was, I must win. I couldn't wait for my turn to come by so I can redeem myself. This game actually gave me an idea for a game for my final, which is good because it saved me loads of time, so I don't need to go crazy and I can completely get everything I need to out of the way. Either way I would rather play this again instead of other games we have played that were either too long or too many rules which annoyed me to no end. I felt I had a good time playing and I really couldn't get the whole winning situation off my head. I wished the game went longer, toward the end it got intense even after people were being eliminated.

US History Question game
Played this game that involved US History. I was teamed up with Fabian and Chris, and to be honest I am not good at US History, in fact I failed that class back in high school. Somehow we managed to get many of the questions right with and without the multiple choice. I really did not like this game one bit because it reminded of high school and I have bad memories from that place. So yeah I hope we don't play something like this again otherwise I'm quitting even before we start playing the game. All I could think though was that we have to win, I want to redeem myself and all those bad memories, the only thing going through my head was I must win.

Passage
I finally got to play this game Passage, after trying to get my laptop to become compatible so it can play it. When it first loaded up I thought it was going to be interesting and wild, however, there were no controls and I had to figure out what to do which was the first thing to annoy me. Then I realized I had to use one key which is obvious the forward key. The next problem, has to be that there was nothing else involved, and this game basically was what i would call a short story of the main character's life. it was what seemed the longest five minutes of my life. While playing I kept thinking to myself why is my teacher torturing me like this? I could not wait to finish, i could have stopped before going any further but, I needed to continue so at least I could say I finished this dumb game.

Pictionary (modified)
Played a modified version of Pictionary today, came in second place last I remembered. It was fun, didn't annoy me like that last game I played. However, some of the themes I did not know how to draw at all, but I still gave it a chance anyways. I was teamed with Randy on this one and we did pretty well knowing I can't do anything that reminds me of Hangman, etc. All I could think of was how fast can I guess the images drawn. What i didn't understand was why were there so many of those cards that had all teams come up, it was a random play of the game. This was a good game just not exactly what I was looking for so let's hope a later game can be something more of what I'm looking for in fun and excitement. Good try anyways with the whole keeping me entertained situation.

Played this weird tile game where we had to make paths and stay on the board as long as possible. Somehow I manage to lose first turn first round, which was annoying and pissed me off to no end. However, after learning from my mistake managed to stay on the board long enough to the end of the round. The game wasn't fun at first until I understood the concept of it. As tiles were being placed down I kept track of where the paths were leading. this helped me a lot so while others were trying to figure out their moves I managed to get the right tiles I needed in order to stay on a stead straight line. Honestly I'd rather not play this game again or even hear about it, I would rather try doing a crane origami than do this game again.
