Board Games & Session Reports

The board games that I played in class were Tsuro and Wits & Wagers. I had never played either before and while I enjoyed both of them I found Wits & Wagers to be quite a bit more fun than Tsuro. In this post I will be giving a session report of Tsuro.

Tsuro Session Report

Players: Danny, Kenton, Linda, Shivani, Jonathan (myself)

The game begins by each of us selecting a token and picking up three random tiles. Each of us placed our tokens pretty far away from each other to give us the best chance of survival.

Kenton goes first and places a tile down on the board and advances his piece.

Linda goes next and places a tile down far enough from Kenton that there are no foreseeable issues.

Shivani places her first tile on the board somewhat near where Linda started, but not close enough to signal impending doom.

Danny’s up next and places a tile that leads him straight across to the next square.

Being that I was the last to go, I had the advantage of seeing where everyone else was and might be headed. I decided to place a tile down that would hopefully keep me well away from everyone else.

We’re back to Kenton who places a tile that moves him forward and to the left.

Linda places a tile that changes her course.

Shivani also places a tile that changes her direction, now on a potential collision-course with Linda.

Danny places a tile which also changes his direction but directs him away from the others but right at me.

Trying my best to stay away from everyone else, I placed a tile that led me straight, in parallel to the chaos that was about to ensue in the center of the board.

Eventually Linda and Shivani collided which took them both out of the game. Shortly after, Kenton was led off of the board and was out of the game, leaving just Danny and myself. That same round, Danny also found himself led off of the board, leaving me as victor.
