At Eureka Surveys, we truly understand the thrill of competition, the joy of cooperative games, and the absolute delight of a solid board game night. We recently asked the question, 'How competitive are you when playing board games?' Not only did we receive a flood of responses, but we also unmasked some truly fascinating insights about how our respondents approach this beloved pastime.

At the top of the competitive scale were those who identified as ‘extremely competitive’. They can’t resist the urge to win and often play with the sole aim of coming out on top. We believe this reflects a determination and focus that is likely mirrored in other areas of their lives. They thrive on competition, eager to prove themselves not just on the board game table, but also in the 'game' of life itself.

Total Participants: 40495

The Win Isn't Everything, Is It?

On the flip side, we discovered a significant number of respondents who prefer to focus on the enjoyment of the game itself, and not the final result. These ‘fun-centered’ players value the communal experience and the laughter that board games bring, often seeing them as a means of deepening connections with friends and family.

This variety in competitiveness preferences illustrates the diverse approach individuals’ take to challenges, triumph, and social interaction. Whether you play to win or play for fun, board games offer a unique reflection of our personality traits and behavior styles.
