How to navigate different expectations in recreational friend groups

Our friend group has been doing monthly board game nights for three years and lately there's this weird tension where half of us want to try new complex games and really compete, while the other half just wants to hang out and be social, and nobody's saying it directly but you can feel people getting frustrated with each other during what's supposed to be fun time.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Your group is discovering that you have fundamentally different relationships to leisure itself — some seeking challenge and mastery, others seeking connection and ease.
