I would much rather play a game with someone more talented than me. I love the challenge and the knowledge you gain from interesting and talented people.
It would be very boring to play with someone less talented.
Who cares who watches. I am the same alone or in a crowd- at my best or at my worst. I am just me.
Definately more.
I like the look on their faces when I whoop their butts!
I don't generally play games at all (at least not board games or card games).
Most days, at some point during each day, I get to play some kind of roll...that's plenty for me in the game department.
Yes, it matters if someone watches, AND who that someone is.
Everything matters.
Lovingly,

I would rather play a game with someone who is more talented. It's the only way to learn. If you know you or your opponent can handle winning or losing gracefully, it doesn't matter who is watching. In fact, it would be great for younger children to watch, to be a good role model for them. I get so upset when I read or see accounts in the news of "Hockey Dads" or "Little League Parents" breaking out into fist fights , or worse, over what should be a nice skill building game for kids. The parents egos get in the way and it's the kids who suffer.
Since I have no talent, every game I play is with someone more talented, so there are no problems with me.
1]DEFINITLY "LESS" OTHERWISE I'D
NEVER WIN, MY ESTEEM WOULD BE IN THE CELLAR AND I WOULD NOT BE FUN TO BE AROUND. IF I WIN ALL THE TIME I CAN BE LIKE LA NONA AND LAFF
AT THE LOOK ON THEIR FACE WHEN I
WHOMP THEM EVERYTIME. 2] SURE,I'D
WANT ALL MY FRIENDS TO JOIN IN MAKING WITH THE RASBERRY AND THE RHUBARB.
I'M THE HONEST ONE TODAY. RIGHT???
I like to win - alot - but I would rather play with someone more talented so I can learn to be as good as them and then beat them alter.
Don't care who watches - I have played team games where literally millions were watching - didn't really notice.
I do get nervous when I play golf with people watching, because it is such an individual game (you are not really competing with anyone but yourself), and I am so bad at it.
I just wish I could beat Jarrod at any game once in a while!!!!!!!! How is that for an answer? (hey at least I wrote something)
When I was growing up ... if I couldn't win, I didn't play ... missed out on a lot of fun and a lot of life with that attitude ...
I'm much better now ... however ... I'd still like to be kind of evenly matched ... it's no fun playing with someone WAY superior to me unless they are also willing to be patient and teach me while we are playing ...
