Last night, I hosted my first game of Circle! The game had 23 players, and relative to the other times Circle has been hosted, it was a success! The game was very fun to host, despite there being a bit controversy that I will go into later.

Highlights of the Game

• The chaos in the early game. Just like in the movie, when there were several players the game was very chaotic. No one was really safe, and it was kind of hilarious to watch. When the numbers dwindled down, the game became more orderly.

• The witch-hunt for who was voting. In the mid-game, many players wanted Random.org to decide who leaves, meaning that no one could cast any votes. However, every round several people were voting. This became apparent to the players when one of the votes came out as a tie, and chaos ensued.

• The cheating controversy. I know this isn't a highlight really, but I should talk about it. There were some accusations that some players were skyping or getting information from the graveyard. I understand this is partially my fault, because I didn't check the "No spectating" box, AND this game is hard to control cheating, but it saddens me that people would ruin the spirit of the game and resort to cheating. Other than this, the game was very fun to host!
