Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
Rules:
- Play nicely with others here.
- Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
- Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

It's why I don't like playing competetive board games. The one time I managed to win a game was because the guy who'd do that the most often didn't realize how to counter my character (and it isn't immediately obvious who's winning until points are done) and man did he fucking moan about how my character was op and no one could stop her and I'm just...you didn't try. Quite easy to make her go doom spiral but yes, bitch more about you failing to ruin my night.
That's why I refuse to play with people who are bad sports (bad losers/winners). I understand people who don't enjoy competition, but that doesn't sound like your story. I enjoy healthy competition, but that person sounds like someone who just enjoys winning, and that's just toxic.
I am fairly certain he played to ruin other people's enjoyment and not to try and win which is insane to my little brain.
Why are you even playing with that person at this point?
I stopped playing with them years ago now! For that reason and so many more.
