Do you play strictly by the rules, or do you bend them a little?

A natural way to answer

I generally play by the rules. I think the rules are what make a game fair, so bending them sort of defeats the point for me.

Key phrases to use

• stick to the rules — to follow the rules exactly without changing them“I always stick to the rules when we play.”
• make it up as they go along — to do something without a plan, inventing it along the way“Half the time they just make it up as they go along.”
