Well, it does turn out that I do dominate some games to the point that I'm not allowed to play (Trivial Pursuit) or that they want to play 5 people against me and one other guy. There is a bit of satisfaction to be had in that, but you're right - it does get old.

I'm also not sure how excited I am to try to teach them how to play a somewhat complicated game.

There's enough luck involved that you likely won't dominate them every game, or even if you do, the scores will be close enough that they'll "almost beat you" every time. Fun game. I'm playing again tonight. I do like Puerto Rico a bit more, but Settlers has more of a following among my friends.
