Experience:

In this exercise, I had to choose a table top game I really enjoy and to review the best parts, as well as improvements that could be done to that game. I chose the "Werewolf" game, it is basically a game of cards where you will have to act, such as to bluff, lie, tell the Truth, snitch, help, betray, and many others. I personally think this is what make the game trully addicting. I overly enjoyed the "Mafia" game back in high school, and this "Werewolf" game was very similar to it.

Observation:

One of the observation I have made through this game is how it can be very engaging for players to play even after several rounds. Based on what I come to understand, surprises, plots, expressions, and how unlimited it is for one to act in order to claim innocent or hide their true identity can be the reason for a very intriguing and fun gameplay. Therefore, it is important to observe whether or not other players would enjoy playing your game, and if so what are the big reason to it. This way, it'll be easier to improve and understand further about the process and outcome of your game.

Finding:

On a gameplay, there is so much to look into. For example, omce you play a certain game, you come to slowly realize why you enjoyed it and maybe at some point even though of what you think could be improved for the game to be more fun / exciting. Personally, I think that in order to go through all this, it is important for you to actually understand how the game works through experience.
