My Two Non-Computer Games


My favorite game of all time has to be football. I played for six years and continue to play pickup games with friends to this day. The game was fun because of the adrenaline rush that I’d get whenever the ball was handed to me. I loved the atmosphere that the game had, from the screaming fans to the dramatic last minute wins to the big hits down the middle of the field. The experience all came together best when our whole team was playing on the same page, it brought the most success and it left many memories that I wont forget for the rest of my life. Much of the experience was conscious because I was aware of everything from players on the field to the fans in the stands. Also I had to be thinking about my next move ahead of time because I knew someone was trying to hunt me down.
Another game that I grew up playing was “Clue.” It is board game and centers around a mysterious murder that you must solve using clues and various strategic steps. The game was fun because it was simple and addicting. I would spend hours with my friends playing the game and it being easy made it easy for all my friends to play it. I think that the game was excited and created excitement as the murderer was revealed more and more.
The game had a nicely detailed yet simple layout and the game pieces were made to resemble the options of weapons that might have committed the crime. Even though it was only a board game it did have some dramatic moments and this made the game exciting and not so boring as some board games sometimes are.
