Welcome to my world. wink There aren't many games anyone in the family can reliably beat DS6 at. I mean, he does lose sometimes, of course, but he wins more often than any of us at everything, and dominates at certain games (as in, there is NO point my playing chess with him). It's freaky.

I mean, I'd beat him at Scrabble, Bananagrams, or Trivial Pursuit, but that hardly seems fair. Or wait. Maybe it IS!

Oh yeah this is us too! For now I still beat DD7 at Scrabble but everything else … no way. We're about even in chess (but DH still beats both of us). Lucky I'm such a good sport!
She played her very first game of Monopoly the other week and DH was being overly nice to her at first until she totally creamed us. Next game we decided no more Mr Nice Guy but still she beat us.
She now has her own specific victory whoop for Monopoly smile lol
