My niece was just telling me that my faux survivalist brother used to cheat against her and he sister in scrabble when they were like 8 and 10. How could you feel good about cheating to beat children in a game?
His cheating was ridiculous. He’d hide letters under the board, sit reading the dictionary, looked up words online using his laptop, and my favorite using his then wife to set up his moves. “Here let me help you…”
I got so tired of his cheating I stopped playing, even though he lost most of the time. Just to be a dick I removed all the vowels from the game except for the Is and Us. The next game he played he got incandescently angry because he was having such “bad luck” with draws.
He played the whole game and never noticed that there were no As, Es, or Os. Phenomenal.
