Of course you should play to win, but always remember what you just won or lost, a board game. Most are largely games a chance anyway, and don't really mean a thing.
As for the rules thing, why wouldn't you follow the rules? If you have to break the rules to win, you didn't really win, at least not the game I was playing. I have a prime example of this, my girlfriend, mother, and one sister are big scrabble fanatics, they play every time someone brings it up. But, they look up words in the dictionairy, which as far as I'm concerned defeats the whole purpose of the game. When I explain this to them, I'm a spoil-sport or I take the game too seriously.
