Yes - I'll pretend to land on the wrong spot or go down the shute so he will win or flip a 3 instead of an ace in war. However my 5-yr old picks up on it usually & calls me on it.
Yes
but they are picking up on it!!
No
good grief, why didn't I think of that during the bloody endless Candyland marathon ....
Yes
Only when they were very small. they would bust me now and it wouldn't be worth the humiliation
Yes
I have been known to stack the Candyland deck so that one of the kids draws a cupcake or something closer to the end of the rainbow :)
Yes
Sometimes with uno or related games, I can see their cards and purposely make it so they can win (and game ends!). I wish there was a good way to make Chutes and Ladders end early, but sort of hard to cheat on that one. Egads, who invented it????
Yes
All the time. But not usually to make the game end more quickly. Most often to let my child win so I didn't hear the crying for hours afterwards. =)
