how long are you banned?

I'm confused. How can you be banned from a board game ? Are we talking a real life board game on a table?

Srarcraft 2 is the only game that causes me tics, and rage.

I am banned from board games because I won't lose on purpose to let the kids win and apparently play too aggressively, not sure if that's the kind of board your talking about though.

How do you get banned from board games?

Banning people from board games is a serious issue!
I firmly believe this practice needs to stop as it only leads to the banned person turning to less healthy board game use.

It starts with them hiding travel scrabble around the house and the person feeling shamed and playing on their own. Soon however the need becomes so overwhelming that they begin playing chess with street thugs at the park and soon find themselves hopelessly out of their depth and forced to commit crimes to support their out of control boggle habit.

Please people, stop and think before banning people willy nilly from board games.

I was banned from the whole of Manchester city centre when I was 15.

The reason being was that I used to have a little habit of smashing windows and breaking into shops and vandalising things.

I still would go there though.

It was my playground.

no, I actually had a girlfriend be very disappointed in me when she was trying to be in a contest once she kept goading me and I would not respond.

she finally said "you are just not very competitive are you?"

and the thing is I refuse to play really fast paced one that are way demanding like UNO, I have slow response time and just don't like them. I also hate monopoly since it is a massive reminder of the evils of capitalism and being greedy.

I've never really played board games. Oh no, I tell a lie, I have played snakes and ladders.

I don't have the patience for such pursuits to be honest.

I reckon I would end up throwing things and getting myself banned too.

I want to know how you get banned from rock climbing. I understand bowling. (though that really takes a lot) and board games.

So what's your issue? Low frustration tolerance, anger management, way too invested in an outcome, micromanaging the rules, or a combination of all of the above?

My husband (Aspie) has gotten better. It's All About The Rules and micromanaging the game to death. He sucks all the fun out of the game, because he's so determined about the playing game right. I'd rather drop dead than play Risk with him.

He also can't play card games like spoons, trash, Uno or SkipBo. Uno isn't exactly a fast paced or a hard card game. It is for him because he has to analyze every possible potential card play in his hand.

Your not the only one who has trouble playing games with multiple players.

I was once banned in a group of tactical card gamers (Similar to Magic the gathering.), because of me memorizing the cards too well. I played a combination that gave me the benefit of actually seeing into my yet non used cards, as well that I coild reshuffle certain cards from now and then. In the end, after some turns, I already knew which cards would be coming, and so could keep certain cards in my hands, when I knew, there would be certain other cards soon following, which would create "bad" combinations. After a session with "superfast moving through the wall to reach enemy character" - "playing Mindcontrol on your enemy character, so that it belongs to me for this round" - "sacrifice one of your characters ("my" enemy character ^^) to resurrect another one of yours" it leaded to me not being welcome anymore, because of me playing to aggressive. (So I was not aggressive, but my playstyle was.)

Oh horrible, I played with the purpose of winning. O_o Inkognito ended as well once in a catastrophe. So the other players, meant that I played tactically well, but the player I tricked, felt absolutely pissed. -.-

this sort of thing is why most games/sports in major tournaments or groups are split into classes - why would I want to play tennis with someone who had won Wimbledon? she would beat the crap out of me with zero chance of me scoring ever? not even a sport or any fun

The focus of the game, was that the characters had certain strenghts and weaknesses. So you either could choose characters cards, that have nearly no chance when being forced in "direct contact", but have in exchange powers that allowed you to influence aspects of the games. Or in the opposite you could choose charactercards, that were rather strong in "direct confrontation", but offered in exchange no additional abilities for the gamer. My built was almost built pure on "hit me once and my char is gone "-cards, and additionally I could influence my own cards, but not these of my opposite-players. So THEY still could have as well good combinations, to force my characters into direct battle, and when that happened noone said "Oh, but that poor little mindcard-character with no life, has no chance in direct contact against that muscle-brute, no it would be too aggressive to play that way." So bashing my psychos easily with their brutes as it is supposed to be is ok, but their brutes being tricked by my psychos as it is supposed to be is "Playing another league"?

Sounds for me rather like "bad loosing" of them.

Dont you think, that if a game gives you the ability to see into your card stack, and as well the ability to rearrange them in small amounts, that its the SENSE of that abilities to remember it? I mean its the major abilities of the group I was given to play (Guess what, the group with the battle-strong characters, were already played by other players.), and using that ability WITHOUT remembering what you did, is completely useless, because then the whole action would be useless. I dont think it was the intention of the designers of that group, to create a group that gets smashed easily in direct battle, but have no usefull skill in exchange?

And as you mention yourself, nowadays you only get told to leave in casinos, simply because its NOT cheating (If you cheat in an casino, you get sued.) but simply because according to their houserules that naturally favors them, they are simply interesting in f*****g you and taking your money. So dont you think the argument: "That selfowned lamers that never want anyone to win but themselves, creating systems that in the end anyway always favors themselves, and makes their customers by statistic always loose their money to them, do not like that either." is rather cheap? If you go on will into a place, that will make you by statistic always loose your money its ok, but why should game designer be interested to create fractions, that are not balanced but force you to loose on purpose?
