Last night I was pondering why I am usually significantly less enthusiastic about playing games than DOB is. Then I started listing off the games we usually play:
Games which are a toss-up
Cribbage
Scrabble (I know more words, but DOB will spend more time hunting for the top score)
Lawn Horseshoes
Games which DOB almost always wins
Rummy
Tetris
Games which DOB ALWAYS wins
Computer golf
Chess (except for an occasional stalemate, which is always pure accident on my part)
Monopoly (And I can't figure out why, because as far as I can tell our strategies are the same)
Games which QOC usually or always wins
None
This is a discouraging picture. What we need are some games that favor someone who is good with words but impatient with strategy, and of course that are fun for two players.
