What games bring out the worst in you?

Minor pet peeve: America changing snakes & ladders into chutes & ladders.

What? Chutes and Ladders was originally Snakes and Ladders?

Dude?

You just ruined my childhood.

I love to play Scrabble but can't stand to play with people who play a negative game.

Yes. And still is, in the rest of the world.

Mini golf.

When I was a child my parents made me play card games, which I hated. Now I am a parent my children make me play card games, which I continue to hate.

That shit is, quite frankly, fucked up.

Trivial Pursuit. As an extraordinarily smart person, I revel in demonstrating my extensive knowledge and expertise in all areas. For some reason, people seem to find this off-putting.

Same.

That said, I had an uber-competitive uncle - my favourite uncle, actually, and he was killed suddenly this summer in a car accident - who loved all forms of competition, and had a tendency to read all of the cards in advance. Bastard.

I'm not a competitive person at all....as a matter of fact, I'm the MOST non-competitive person in this forum...

Hockey even when I watch it now. My wife leaves the room generally though I have started to mellow out in my old age

 

[telecaster911]

Strip darts. It doesn't bother me much, but the bar patrons hate it.

Oh yeah!? Care to prove that with a little bit of a competit... Oh.

I love scrabble. I'm not genius, but I find it fun. I rarely lose, so that helps.

Clearly you don't have a wide enough circle of opponents.

 

[DFB]

Roulette, I hate dealing that game. You are cleaning up constantly.

It"s about who has the most points at the end of the game. The specific numbers don't matter.

Re OP

Scrabble, apparently.

Love scrabble, Risk takes too long, but I really get poised losing at games that are based entirely on luck, like Yatzee. I can take losing to a better skill set or strategy, but when you have someone rolling yatzee after yatzee and rubbing your fave in it. Grrrrrrrr.....

Avalon Hill for the WIN!

we used to play their games for hours on end.

Risk. I would make my own children cry to control Kamchatka.
