-- Week 1 --

This is my first blog for the Victoria University subject ACM2007 Innovation technologies Research and Application. First I will talk about what is fun for me and then talk about my “munchkin experience”

Fun:
The online oxford dictionary defines fun as “enjoyment; pleasure; a thing that gives enjoyment or pleasure and makes you feel happy”.
So what is fun to me, I would have to say that fun to me is doing things that make me feel happy.
I feel happy when I am, Doing things with my fiancés, Taking the dog for a walk, Renovating the house, Playing computer games and going home from work. In relation to this subject my favourite games are strategy computer games that make you think rather that just action.


Munchkins:
This game had a very large learning curve and we only managed to go around the table once in one hour. The game had common elements of other games that I have played before both card and computer games. The fact that you needed to read the instructions and a flow chart before your could have your turn was a bit much. After trying to work out what was supposed to be happening for 15min I goggled the game to make sure it was not a joke due to the complicated nature of the game. I enjoy complicated games that involve some level of strategy to win but the complicated nature of munchins put me off trying to learn this game. I think that this game would be well suited to a computer format where the computer could give you control and guidance. Since there are so many versions of this game you could also download patched to add more types of cards .
