The purpose of rules or how to keep "friendly" games "friendly"

[LetsRock]

Depending on who you're playing with, these kinds of rules infraction are likely more annoyance than a problem.

Do you know these guys? Are they your friends? Would you trust them with your sister?

If you can answer yes to all 3, I wouldn't worry about it; let the game remain loose.

If you can't and you have any say in the matter, there should be a set of standard rules set up and adhered to. If that doesn't work out, then find another game.

I prefer to have rules in place and enforced even when playing with friends. But I do play in one game where I've known the guys for years and the game is really loose and the concept that there would be a cheater amongst us is the farthest thing from my mind. We have a few beers and a few laughs and I generally come out ahead for the night.

If you can live with it, let it go have fun and make money; if not fix it, or find another game.
