Those wholesome family game night ads? Gentle competition, perfect memories...
That's not what happens.
Reality: Someone's crying by round two. Controller 'accidents'. Nobody having fun—not even the winner.
I watched families for two years. Games aren't broken. Expectations are.
Build for the chaos. The comebacks. The kid losing at 9:47 who wins at 9:52.
Messy nights = Thanksgiving stories ten years later.
When did your game night derail?
