My sister-in-law is that guy. That’s why we don’t like playing board games or doing escape rooms with her. Oh, and also because she’s a bitch and is divorcing my brother.
Wife of a friend as well. She’ll bend and “interpret loosely” every rule in her favor, but if someone else is doing the same, she gets mad and thinks it’s cheating.
Oof, I have a friend like this. Wins 80% of all board games he’s in but never asks himself why. Buddy it’s because were just trying to have a good time and it would seriously fuck with the mood to actually try to stop you from interpreting things in your favour every single time
For me (though this depends on the game and the people) everyone trying their hardest to win is part of the fun of board games. That said, trying to manipulate the rules to essentially chest is not in the spirit of the game. Everyone should be playing in the spirit of the rules and trying to win fairly. If some people just aren’t trying then it’s not very fun.
This is all of course assuming that it’s a board game made to try to win on, not the typical American board games that are 90% random chance. Those just suck anyway, so you might as well just fuck around and have fun with it.
