Don't get me wrong; I still like to win, but I like myself more when winning is not the all-consuming desire on my part. I am often a poor loser, but that monster does not show its head as much (not to say that it doesn't come out at all) during these types of games. I had a good time.
On a related note, the comment was made that the "one who holds the pen (or banker) usually wins." The suggestion is that the banker has more opportunities to take "embezzle" when it comes to keeping score. I find that this is true in more aspects of life than just playing games.
