I am not a competitive person. So, why, one would ask, would I enjoy playing board games so much? Isn’t the point to win?
Sure. If one were to just look at something like Monopoly, (let’s not focus on it being a poor board game) and examine it strictly on the “acquire the most money and win” aspect of it.
Now. Do you recall the number of times you have won Monopoly? Or do you mainly remember the moment when you just barely escaped getting bankrupted by landing just in between your rivals? Presumably, you were having a good time up until the moment that monopoly inevitably turns into a grind and you stop having fun.
