If you see people finding value only in winning, you might want to switch to different gaming friends. Around here, managing the critical mass to play the game is a first collective victory. And there is plenty of congratulations and collective joy to witnessing a game strategy well played. That same strategy that others may think "crushed you". Being able to play with smart players is 100% a blessing.
- jader201 1y agoI’m talking strictly the rules of gameplay, and applying that metaphorically to competition within the workplace and war. Taken literally, of course the experience of playing a board game should be fun for everyone, regardless of the outcome. But if you want to stick to the metaphor, I would agree that if you’re playing board games with sore losers/winners should result in finding new people to play with. And similarly, if you have coworkers that are only looking out for themselves and their own success, without regard to the success of the team, find a new place to work. But that’s the point I was trying to make.
