Do you prefer games of chance or games of strategy?

I like games with a little bit of both. If there is too much strategy I get bored. If there is too much chance I lose all the time, so there has to be a equal balance of the two.

I prefer games of chance because then I feel like it's fair for everyone. Games of strategy get too competitive, and you always have that one person who's just a total jerk about it and it ends up being miserable for everyone. In our house, we can't play Monopoly, because I always end up getting mad and kicking over the game.

I prefer games of chance. I find games of strategy tend to get too competitive.

I'm from Ireland but I certainly do not have the 'luck of the Irish' so I prefer the strategy games

Both. Chance - too easy and boring. Strategy - too competitive if you take it too seriously. That's why we always make sure if our kids win, they really win - there are no "gimmes" in this house.
