Alright, cool. Sounds like the responses are decidedly in my favor. I agree with the occasional making the wrong move for the kid's ego.
I just remember my mom giving me the dirtiest look and sob story when I eliminated Little Johnny (no, that's not his real name) in Monopoly one time. My points being...
A. That's the game, those are the rules
B. Little Johnny ain't so little anymore
C. Little Johnny had been running his little mouth before and during the game
Other than that, there are plenty of games that are more geared toward adults that are just fun to play, win or lose. Pictionary, Balderdash, Scene It. My buddy and I played THE BEST round of pictionary EVAR. He was drawing, and he can't really draw for shit, but he's very smart. The rest of the crowd was looking at the word and saying that we would never get it. He drew a horse, circled the head. He drew a bed. Then an arrow from the horse's head to the bed. The word was 'Godfather' I got it.
