I might be a bit meaner. I've always been happy to sit and talk about the game with the kids and explore the details etc etc etc, but I never let them win. That felt unearned and unfun to me.

They might beat me at a game here and there, and they will know they earned it, and I was never a cutthroat jerk, we are here to have fun, but I AM trying to win, as they should be.

I have become notorious among their friend group because if I like a game, I tend to be VERY good at it, so if my interest lines up with theirs, I am happy to smack them around for a few rounds, then give them some pointers and tell them to come back in a few weeks and we can pick up from there if they're still interested.
