alpha gaming

When one person in a co-op game starts forcing other players in the co-op game to play in a certain way there-by defeating the purpose of a co-op game and ruining most of the fun. Typically related to but not limited to co-op board games, RPGs and co-op multiplayer video games.

Open discussion and suggestions on opportunities, efficient plays and actions are not considered alpha gaming. But making a decision for a player without being the actual player is considered alpha gaming.

An alpha gamer is different from a leader. A leader leads by example and is typically accepted as a leader by other players. An alpha gamer is trying to micro-manage all other players with overbearing (and often unwanted) advice. An alpha gamer ruins the fun of a game while a leader does not.
We were having fun playing that co-op game until Alex started alpha gaming.

Uncle Game

The special games your uncle would play with you. His love for you kept secret and hidden. If you close your eyes you can still feel the caress of his hot whiskey breath and stubble on the back of your neck.
Blady's favorite Uncle Game to play was Sports Physical.
