Do you let your kids win, or go full competitive mode? (lemmy.world)

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? 🎮

One answer I heard of from a dad was: He collects tons of coop games to play with his kids, and prefers those, as well as some competitive games that you can play against easy/hard bots, so he can team with the kids.

BUT, if the kids specifically ask to play against him, he’ll take the duel, and play his best. He was okay with letting them view it as a mountain to try to climb. Kids often learn more about games than you’d realize, so after one or two matches of getting creamed they might start to do much better.
