[quote=Anonymous]How many of you are much smarter than your spouse? What do you do during game night if you're in a situation where you are a league above your spouse in intellect? Let them win?  Tonight, we were playing a game we've been playing for the past two months.  My wife has 'won' every game we've played over that time (prob 13 times we've played).  Little does she know I've let her win every game the entire time.  Tonight, I was tired of it and then played for real. She was shocked she lost 4 times in a row once I really started trying this time.  To put this into context, I have a graduate degree in engineering from a top school while my wife studied polysci. It's a game that requires stats and probabilities as well as discrete math principles (obviously stuff she's never even heard of).  Once I started using concepts I learned in school like the pigeonhole principle, ideas from graph theory, and basic stats/prob I started to wipe the floor with her in the game. She ended up getting quite angry at losing the entire night and stormed off to bed without saying goodnight.

If you are far more intellectually superior than your spouse, what do you during game night? Purposefully let them win because you know you can pretty much beat them 100% of the time? Stick to games only that are 'fun' and that are built in random change so that very little strategy is involved? Or show no mercy and mop the floor with them every time until they cry uncle and refuse to play the anymore?  I already ruined Scrabble with my spouse, because I beat her over 36 times in a row (played for real the entire time). [/quote]
