Week One - Munchkins

In this first week we played a Roll playing game called munchkins. The point of this was to understand the way an RPG is designed and how the interface of the cards look.
The class was divided into groups of 5 and we tried to play the game. Almost everyone found trouble understanding the game because it was the first time most of us were introduced to this game. once the rules were stated and we had a few turns, we finally understood the general idea of the game, we all begin at level one and by beating the monsters you gain a level, the first person to get to the highest level and finishes there cards wins the game.
