Uh, no thanks, I'll play this instead.

Another game I hesitate to play is Settlers of Catan when playing with married couples. Everytime there was a married couple playing it (in my experience), they gave each other an advantage by teaming up.

Not in this household. My wife is brutal at that game. I think she's upset the cats win.

Yeah I agree with stonegod. My wife yelled at me because I was being "too easy" on her the first time we played it so since then all bets are off and it's a great time.

Ha! Bwah ha ha ha ha! All the married couples I know, myself included, do the opposite of teaming up when we play Settlers.

I really dislike Munchkin. It's fun up to about lvl 8 out of 10, but trying to win moves from fun to annoying and tedious.

I wish there was a M:tG card that let you do that. And if there was, I'd SO put Chaos Orb in that deck, too.

I'm close to never playing Arkham Horror again, particularly with more than one expansion at a time. I can't honestly recall the last time we managed to win the game, and cards like "Cthulhu appears. You must fight Cthulhu alone." are just beyond insane. Particularly when you pull more than one such card during a session.

I love this card! I wish we'd draw it more often (while in the correct other world). The one time someone had to fight Cthulhu was one of the most memorable encounters, since the player - almost - managed to win. Everyone was excited, cheering with every success rolled. Great times!

If you don't like this kind of thing, it's obviously not the right game for you

I've actually seen that card turn into an unexpected game win. The character was 1 round away from being devoured when he actually beat cthulhu, sealing a gate he didn't have the clue tokens to seal on his own.

I won't play spit. With anyone.

In college I played Axis & Allies and Napoleon in Europe with my roomies. Half of them had best buddies in the group, and the other half were history buffs. After about the sixth game, I got tired of losing. They're hella fun games, but they get boring when played with the same predictable group over and over again.

I won't play Diplomacy with certain people because it causes hurt feeling when the inevitable betrayal occurs.

I prefer not to play RoboRally. I just dislike the game. No real reason.
