My aunt insists on house rules that slow down every game
We played Carcassonne last Sunday, and she kept adding her own scoring tweaks. It dragged the game out for an extra hour. I tried to explain the official rules, but she said family games should be flexible. Now my kids are confused about how to play correctly. Has anyone dealt with a relative who changes game rules? How do you handle it without causing a fuss?

Family games should be flexible" often means NOBODY knows how to play.

Dave's family always ends up making their own rules for Monopoly.

I just started bringing the rulebook and reading it out loud before we play. What's your aunt's reaction when you show her the printed rules?
