I realized the best family games don't make you choose. Everyone can compete at their own level—and the youngest player doesn't have to lose for the older ones to have fun.

What's your house rule? 🎮

Depends on the game. A game of skill, I tend to try to make it look competitive with some wins and losses for both but nothing too out ragious like lapping them, going flawless, trick shots, or running up the scores. I am usually teaching them how to play. I am thinking specifically video games or sports here

Games of luck, I try to play to play to win and sometimes explaining my logic if I asked why I did that. This applies to games of cards like Uno, Cribbage, yahtzee.

Depends what we are playing.
