10/23 FoE blog post

Today was my third time logging into my Forge of Empires gaming account. I definitely believe that there are educational possibilities and an element of didactic effectiveness in the game. From the Stone Age on through the centuries, users can explore the new technologies and tools that are prominent in that era. As players establish and build their settlements, they can also explore new building types. I also believe that the game requires its players to develop economic skills; this skill is needed in order to finance the growth of the users’ empires. Furthermore, I downloaded Forge of Empires on my iPhone and to be honest, I did not like it very much. I would rather play the game on my laptop. This may be a personal preference because (in general) I do not like playing games or using social media on small screens. For example, I would prefer to go on Facebook using my laptop than using my iPhone. Consequently, due to the phone’s small screen, everything in the game, including the land and buildings, looked compact and it was difficult to navigate my way around.
