Card game When we played this game at the beginning it change me because I have never felt so overwhelmed playing a game, I will always say that I was extremely foncused and embarrassed the whole round. The card game, we were separated into different groups and we couldn’t communicate with each other at all no talking no lips so nothing what had me the most confused was that we were handed instructions to read and follow and I am definitely a person who learns by listening to directions and watching others so reading the directions just confused me even more.
