Do You Cheat During Board Games?

If you break it down, men are more likely to cheat at games than women.

This might seem high: according to a poll, 33% of Americans have a partner who has admitted to cheating in the past and 14% say they “always cheat,” “often cheat,” or “sometimes cheat.”

But, this is not cheating in the relationship…it’s cheating at poker, “Monopoly”, and “Mario Kart”. The poll asked, “How often do you cheat when you recreationally play games, board games, card games, or video games?” Over 50 percent said they never do. Meanwhile, 9 percent said sometimes and 3 percent said often. If you break it down, men are more likely to cheat at games than women and the main reason is competitiveness.
