Default Games

Most of my angry moments in games have come when a player has decided not to act in his/her interest and allow the other person or persons to have more resources to gang up on me.

My first very angry moment where this happened was during Risk, when my father and brother made a pact to only attack me. This led to the board and pieces colliding with the living room wall.

Thankfully, now, when such things happen, I merely resort to name-calling and threats.

oh my gosh! That happened to you, too? You wouldn't believe how many times my game pieces spontaneously scattered themselves around the living room floor. Gotta hate entropy.

Games aside, how do you respond when the same occurs in real life?

The story is dictated by the cards.

Whether I win has nothing to do with whether I get a good or bad hand.

The cards dictate the story. The cards come from the dealer.
