I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Some of the most fun you’ll have playing a game is not the game itself but the experience you have when playing it with a group of people. Take away that element and sometimes you might as well just declare yourself the winner before even starting. That’s why I’ll often ask people before sitting down to a game – “Are you here to have fun or are you here to win?” Because if the answer is the latter I will just say “you win” and go find someone who wants to have fun.
