My experience playing Blanca's board games

During the previous two weeks I have tried to play two different board games. One of those was the very known game Trivial (the dark blue one).

Even though chances are you alredy know the rules, it's worthwile to explain them. To be honest, they were far simple compared to other board games, so you just had throw a six-sided dice and land on a square. Then, depending on the square's colour, you were ment to ask a question (blue corresponds to geography, green to science and so on). The goal was to reach a square called "headquarter" to score a point, the one who first reached six points was the winner.

Although I had a very good time playing this game along with my friends

However, I've already played this game a bunch of times, so the fun was more related to my friends than to the game itself.

On second place, we have a game which was called It's All About Time. This game was something new to us, so we had to carefully read it's rules. Unfortunately, they were too complex to learn them in less than 50 minutes, so we gave up and decided to simplify them. We ended up with the following rules. They were quite the same ones of the Trivial, but in this game, your aim was to collect tokens by answering questions about the date of different events of historical interest.

We had a lot of fun playing this game, but this one was clearly better than Trivial, maybe because it was new.

This has been my experience playing board games so far. I look forward to give a taste to the ones coming next.

See ya!!

In my case, I decided to play "about time," which was a quite hard game about history.
We started by reading the rules carefully and trying to understand them, but we had to modify them a bit in order to make it easier. In this version of the game, we made two groups with two or three players in each one of them. Then, my group started because I was the youngest player; we threw the dice and moved our character (which was a relevant historic person such as Napoleon or Cleopatra) through the board. We had to look at the colour where we had landed in and ask the corresponding question to all the players. This question asked in what year some historic events had taken place; each team had to write their answer on a paper sheet, and the group that was closer to the exact date scored a point. Then, the process had to start back again.
In my opinion, this game was quite entertaining because we had to think a bit in order to guess it right, but we could also have fun by being competitive between teams.
In conclusion, this game has really helped us to be a bit more conscious of the date in which historic facts took place and to improve our range of vocabulary about history and past events. I would love to repeat this activity.

I had a great time playing Trivial Pursuit with my friends last week. I think it is a very interesting board game because it tests your general knowledge on a wide range of topics. The game is divided into several categories. My favourite ones are sports and history. I am not good at science at all and I’m not keen on geography either. It’s really worth playing Trivial Pursuit because it is the perfect way to combine learning with entertainment.

During this last week, I have been playing Trivial Pursuit with my friends. Although it's a challenging game due to the level of vocabulary it has, it's very interesting and engaging. It deals with various concepts such as geography, history, and more, some with more difficult questions than others, which makes you learn more but in a fun way. I would love to play Trivial Pursuit again.

I enjoyed the board games class! It was a fun way to practice my English while interacting with my classmates. Enjoy playing various communication and teamwork games, making the learning experience in enjoyable. The teammate explained the rules clearly, which helped us play better. Overall, it was a great combination of fun and learning.

During these 2 weeks that blanca was ill and couldn't come to class, my friends and I chose to play 2 differents board games.

The first day we played Trivial. This classic game was so much fun to play with friends, but as it was getting a bit old and disactulished and was thinked to British people some questions were very very difficult, so in some moments it could be a bit boring.

The second day we choose to play All about time. It is a game in which you have to answer questions with a date, so the team that comes closer to the actual date wins. I don't know what we did, but as we didnt have a lot of time and it was complicated to play i think we broke some essential rules that made the game had a bit of nonsense jaja

In general I have to say that I had a nice experience and that I would like to do it again in the future.

My experience playing board games in English has been incredible because I have learned a lot of vocabulary, expressions and grammar in English.

The days we have played board games we have learned new things about history, art, sports, cinema...

My favorite game has been Trivial because it was the most dynamic and I have learned a lot of things with this board game.

Trivia is a game of cultural questions above all. It has different "tests" or "aspects" and if you answer the question you win a "cheese". This "cheese" was a small token that symbolized that you had correctly guessed each section. For example, if you got a history question and you got it right, you would win a yellow cheese.

Since the teacher was absent we played board games. I started playing "About History" with 5 classmates. We spent some time understanding the game and the rules although they were a bit complicated. Finally we started playing in two teams but since we were odd we made a team of two and another of three. I was in the team of two but the other team started. The game consisted of throwing a die and moving a piece with a historical character, honestly I am not clear who was the character we chose.

After throwing the dice you had to move you character to a colored square and depending of the color, you had to read the historical or television event of the color you got and try to guess the date or get as close as possible to it.

The first to reach the center of the game, won.

We lost but because the other team cheated a bit.

The game was interesting but I think what made it fun was playing it with those classmates.

For last two weeks we have been playing a game called "Holiday". In this game we did not have to talk too much, but we read all the rules to learnt how to play. We made four teams with two or three players (depending on how many people was playing that day).

It was a very funny game, no to learn just to have a laugh.

The last day we played a game called "culo" with the spanish cards and it was actually the funniest day.

I love those classes where you learn playing, it is entertaining and funny, and I think you learn faster.
