CMON Feature Friday: Raising the Stakes

For most of us, tabletop games are an escape. We seek them out when we need to relax and get away from the pressures of everyday life. Sure, there’s usually an element of competition, but it’s of the friendly variety. Nothing really tangible is on the line, and if you lose a game, or even ten in a row, the only thing damaged is your pride. However, there are ways of playing that raise those stakes. 

For this week’s CMON Feature Friday, we take a look at how playing with something on the line changes our approach to gaming and effects our overall experience.
