When playing games with your kids, do you let them win all the time, part of the time or heck no I want to win everything??

I let the win part of the time.
If I let them win all the time they would know I was letting them and winning would not mean anything.
I do it just enough.

I play by the rules and show them the importance of playing by rules. I tell them they also cant win all of the time.
