Wow, that must have been a bad loss. That's an extreme response. Was rage quit involved?

Okay, Dutch Blitz sounds more complicated then. Trust me, you can get really burned in Blitz, lol. I don't recall what my score was by the end of that game, but I told my sister's friend never to bring this game again, haha.

Just to clarify, I thought it was all very funny. I just don't think it is possible to lose much worse than I did.
There's a game my family plays called "Scottish Bridge" (also known as "Oh Hell") that I feel similarly about sometimes.
I'm actually a pretty gracious loser. I am competitive, but I can also laugh at myself when I totally bomb a game. She was laughing when I told her to never bring it again. I think she was just amazed that someone could be so dysfunctional at a fairly easy game.
Speaking of rage quit... I used to play a lot of poker when I was 18 and I've always played super aggressive and I bluff a lot as a result. Anyway, playing poker at a colleague's house who is late 20s and her partner is early 30s.
Baited and bluffed him down until he was all in on a hand and I won the hand and he threw his chips at me, stormed upstairs and locked himself in the bathroom.
Now that's a rage quit
This story makes me laugh whenever you mention it. Unless you were playing high stakes poker, there is no reason to get so upset. The bathroom part is the best, lol.
Buy-in was $8 lol

Some people are just poor losers. I wouldn't want to see him play Scottish Bridge, the game is intentionally rigged so that no one guaranteed to actually win.
I will be sure to never play that game. I don't need to add that to my Dutch Blitz experience
Patrick's story is really hard to beat, haha. Mind you, I have encountered really bad sports while playing various board games. I think some people just can't accept losing to another person. It is crazy to be that way, especially since very few people who get that intense, are actually at a professional level. They aren't losing in the world championship. I'm referring mostly to poker or chess.
I don't like losing, but I will admit when I actually get defeated after a good fight. For example, on a mission trip in high school I got involved in a game of Risk that started around 3 pm, at 10pm that night my empire fell in 3rd place.
I love Risk. I used to play that a lot many years ago. I guess I like games of conquest and attack more than card games, haha. Europe is the hardest to control in Risk (haha, not really a surprise). I know this, but I still like to gamble sometimes.

We did dethrone him a few times but it was tough). I guess I like games of conquest and attack more than card games. Europe is the hardest to control in Risk (haha, not really a surprise).

Europe is a bad place to start. I started in South America and the guy who won started in Australia and didn't leave until he had a horde stronger than Genghis Khan's.
Did he always start in Australia?
Quite often. He would move his way up from there and end up taking over all of Asia. If you can do it (obviously some luck of the dice) you are pretty unstoppable.
One of my friends is murder in Dutch Blitz and mops the floor with everyone he plays with. He no longer brings it to church game nights since no one will play with him anymore.Okay, Dutch Blitz sounds more complicated then. Trust me, you can get really burned in Blitz, lol.
