Another point of confusion concerns competitiveness. Games introduce a scoring structure, and scoring structures introduce winning and losing. Some groups treat this lightly; others take it more seriously. Neither approach is inherently better, but a mismatch between the two within the same room is a common source of friction. Groups that name their orientation early — that this is a relaxed evening, or that this is a serious game night — tend to encounter fewer misunderstandings later.
