Recommended Age: 14+ Number of Players: 3-6 players Play time: N/A Cards against Humanity Description: Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. Unlike most of the party games you've played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends. The game is simple.

Players must move to a room and then make an accusation against a character saying they did it in that room with a specific weapon. The player to the left must show one of any cards accused to the accuser if in that player's hand. Through deductive reasoning each player must figure out which character, weapon, and location are in the secret file. To do this, each player must uncover what cards are in other player’s hands by making more and more accusations. Once a player knows what cards the other players are holding, they will know what cards are in the secret file. A great game for those who enjoy reasoning and thinking things out. Recommended Age: 8+ Number of Players: 3-6 players Play time: 45 min Code Names Description: Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their Codenames. In Codenames, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team.

An analog timer on the Chrono Decoder centerpiece incessantly counts down, emitting ominous noises to create an environment shut out from the outside world. If the puzzles stump you for too long, slide a hint card into the Hint Decoder to keep your team moving.

Recommended Age: 16+ Number of Players: 3-5 players Play time: 60min Exploding Kittens Description: A kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette. Players take turns drawing cards until someone draws an exploding kitten and loses the game. The deck is made up of cards that let you avoid exploding by peeking at cards before you draw, forcing your opponent to draw multiple cards, or shuffling the deck. The game gets more and more intense with each card you draw because fewer cards left in the deck means a greater chance of drawing the kitten and exploding in a fiery ball of feline hyperbole. Recommended Age: 7+ Number of Players: 2-5 players Play time: 15 min Exploding Kittens Party Pack Description: This stand-alone game includes cards from Exploding Kittens, Imploding Kittens and the Exploding Kittens App and allows 2-10 players Exploding Kittens is a kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette.

    The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Todd L. Harper November 2010 © 2010 Todd L. Harper. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play by TODD L. HARPER has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Mia L. Consalvo Associate Professor of Media Arts and Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT HARPER, TODD L., Ph.D., November 2010, Mass Communications The Art of War: Fighting Games, Performativity, and Social Game Play (244 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Mia L. Consalvo This dissertation draws on feminist theory – specifically, performance and performativity – to explore how digital game players construct the game experience and social play. Scholarship in game studies has established the formal aspects of a game as being a combination of its rules and the fiction or narrative that contextualizes those rules. The question remains, how do the ways people play games influence what makes up a game, and how those players understand themselves as players and as social actors through the gaming experience? Taking a qualitative approach, this study explored players of fighting games: competitive games of one-on-one combat. Specifically, it combined observations at the Evolution fighting game tournament in July, 2009 and in-depth interviews with fighting game enthusiasts. In addition, three groups of college students with varying histories and experiences with games were observed playing both competitive and cooperative games together.

    Vol. 6, No. 1 (2012) http://www.eludamos.org Skin Games: Fragrant Play, Scented Media and the Stench of Digital Games Simon Niedenthal Eludamos. Journal for Computer Game Culture. 2012; 6 (1), pp. 101-131 Skin Games: Fragrant Play, Scented Media and the Stench of Digital Games SIMON NIEDENTHAL Is gaming becoming funkier? Dancemat interfaces haven’t just introduced thumping bass lines to gaming, they also make players sweat. Add the strain of new motion control interfaces such as the Wii, Kinect and Move, and the result is a more pungent smellscape for digital gaming. This has caused some players to rethink their seduction strategies: Seriously, Kinect might just be the first game machine that can make people stink at a party. I guess if you don't want to stink up the party, don't be the first to play Kinect. That girl or guy you are interested in my not like you much because of your Kinect smell. Perhaps it is better to wait till the party is almost over to play Kinect. (booniga 2010) This moment of social anxiety gives an inkling of the untapped power of smell in game design. Body odors do play a subtle yet powerful role in sexual attraction (Herz 2008). But when Kinect smell becomes an occasion for player speculation about attractiveness and hygiene, we would also do well to bear in mind what sensory anthropologists have long contended: that the sense of smell remains a contested site in which cultural norms are explored, negotiated, enforced and transgressed (Classen, Howes and Synnott 1994) (Fig.

  • Design of a Social Media Simulator As a Serious Game for a Media Literacy Course in Japan
    Design of a Social Media Simulator as a Serious Game for a Media Literacy Course in Japan Marcos Sadao Maekawa1, Leandro Navarro Hundzinski1, Sena Chandrahera1, Shota Tajima2, Shoko Nakai2, Yoko Miyazaki2 and Keiko Okawa1 1Keio University Graduate School of Media Design, Yokohama, Japan 2SmartNews Media Institute, Tokyo, Japan Keywords: Media Literacy, Serious Games, Fake News, Social Media. Abstract: This paper introduces the initial phase of the design process of a simulator about information sharing in social media for educational settings. This online tool mimics real-world social media services and provides a playful learning experience. Players evaluate online information, make decisions to share or not the information, and as a result, gain or lose followers. Students can access other players’ statistics and analyze references such as expert’s opinions to support their decision-making. Through this experience, students are expected to exercise and reflect on their online social media behavior and become smart consumers and responsible creators of online information. The preliminary findings reveal a glance of social media sharing behavior among university students in Japan and clues for measuring the learning effects and the engagement for this sort of practice. Results from this research are expected to contribute to digital media literacy education and serious game design domains. 1 INTRODUCTION This paper presents the design process of a serious game related to social media and fake news. It mimics Digital media technologies are developing at a social media service, and users are expected to unprecedented speed, and the amount of information evaluate the information on posts and make decisions available on the internet increases exponentially.
