If I played to win I would have given up a long time ago.

A (paraphrased) Reiner Knizia quote (I think) that stuck with me is:

"The goal [of a boardgame] is to win but it's the goal that's important, not the winning"

A very good friend joined me at an invitational gaming weekend… and at the end said, “You guys like to win but you love to play.”

Pretty much sums it up for me.

Exactly, an example being Clank! I always push my luck, giving up opportunities to win just so I can create drama and screw over my friends. We always laugh about it at the end. Except one guy, who just doesn't get it, "but why did you do that, you could have won?" is a familiar refrain.
