Friday, we continued playing the card game that Curt taught us, Cuarenta. My partner and I quickly lost the first game, eliminating us from the tournament. In the end, I think that Cuarenta is not the card game for me. While I feel like I understand a bit of strategy to the game, I think there is too much luck involved to be truly an excellent game. I greatly prefer euchre.
The second half of class was interesting, featuring Curt's friend giving a presentation on gaming. I learned a few new terms about games (i.e. perfect information games) that I am glad to know. While his presentation was interesting, I feel that it went a little too long near the end. I was losing interest in him explaining parts of games that I had never heard of, thus had no frame of reference to think about the game. I wish the presentation had ended a bit earlier.
