My preference is normally to play to win, but I don't really give a shit whether I do or not. My normal gaming buddy is far better at games then I am, so I wouldn't play any if I really felt the need to win. Then again, the fact he is good at games means he isn't going to get upset if I do something (within the rules) that is going to give me a big advantage. He might get annoyed at the game, but not me. Same goes if he did something like that against me and we would both respect the thought process that worked out how to break a system or whatever it might be.
Having said that, if I was playing with a group where that kind of thing might not go down so well I would have the courtesy to rail that sort of thing in or choose my targets to avoid making it a miserable experience for someone (for example, I would go after someone else who is being aggressive and leave the person who is a little more passive, even if it didn't make as much sense). I certainly wouldn't knowingly break rules and would take something back if it turned out to be against the rules and was possible to do so. Even if I enjoy playing to win, I would find it very unenjoyable to be the person ruining the game for someone else.

MyIsland wrapped up. Despite some interesting diversions in later chapters this definitely outstayed its welcome. We probably dragged it out too long. If you loved MyCity then you know what to expect. Mechanically fun, but shallow AF. Moved on to Ticket to Ride Legacy, and this is much more like it. Two of the twelve games in and it’s already a delight. Can’t wait to crack on and see what’s in those boxes. Got Dune Imperium Uprising on backorder. Depending who you believe there’s another shipment in June or November.
