If you don’t know the sore loser in your friendship group, chances are, it’s you. But that’s okay! Losing sucks, and it only means that you’re competitive.
While your competitive side might not be for everyone, there are plenty of activities you and like-minded friends can enjoy together so see who actually is the best.
Monopoly
Is there any game as intense as Monopoly? This game has the power to split up families when competitive people are involved. Everyone knows the layout, rules, and tactics, making it the perfect get-up-and-go game available for friends old and new.
Grab the board, head to the pub, or connect with players across the globe on online gaming platforms.
Obstacle Courses
If you and your friends want to take the competition into the outdoors, to find out who would win in a survival of the fittest situation, an obstacle course is a great way to have fun while also testing your fitness skills. Whether you set up your own at a local park, or head to an existing course, you’re in for a tiring day. Whoever reaches the end in the shortest amount of time (without cheating) is the winner. You could even make a crown and buy a personalized medal.
Placing Sports Bets
Placing bets certainly ups the ante when it comes to competitiveness—as there’s the chance to win (or lose) money. If you want to get ahead, check out this Asian handicap betting guide to help you place winning bets every time. Head to the bar for a few drinks, or create a sweepstake for the next big tournament to see who’s the luckiest member of the crew.
Arcade Games
Retro games are some of the best ways to battle against friends. Whether it’s air hockey, Space Invaders or Mario Kart, rally up the group and head to the nearest arcade in your area for a great night of competition, fun, and inevitably, a little bit of losing.
Fortnite
Avid gamers can totally get lost in the world of Fortnite, and compete against local friends and those further away. The video game has taken the world by storm, so chances are you’ve already given it a go. But if not, it’s available for just about every gaming device!
Dodgems
If there’s a fair or carnival in town, there’s no better place to compete for the title of carnival king or queen. Head on over to the dodgems or test your strength on the high striker. Don’t forget to grab come candy floss on your way out!
Trivial Pursuit
For those who prefer a battle of the brains, Trivial Pursuit will have you competing for hours. You’ll all be quizzed on different topics to see who knows what, and—of course—who knows the most.
Hey, if you and your friends have tons of time to waste this summer, you might even be able to do all of these activities so that everyone can at least win once. That way, everyone can go home with no hard feelings, feeling like a winner and being smug about the losers.
