List of games where only way to win is quitting
I can only think of Russian Roulette, but then again it's not winning.
Mutually assured destruction is a theory, but not a game, but in this scenario, you can only win by not playing.
Are there any more? Am I not making a really descriptive question? Maybe I am.
In Chess, you knock your King over, if you quit, usually because you think you cannot win no matter what and cannot draw. So you quit, because there is no way to win.
I'm sleep deprived a little, bear with me.
Obviously I quit a game I cannot win.

Health nut: Smoking
AP: Any negative EV game
Broken hearted: that codependent and enabling relationship
Sorry, man.
There is a really good answer right on the tip of our tongues(that's not a hint per se). Put your answers in spoilers and I'll ruin a play for you if you're right.Quote: unJonHealth nut: Smoking

You don't talk about Fight Club.Quote: AxelWolfAll games if you are using a loss rebate.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire almost fits. But you said “only” way to win is by quitting in the question. You can win on that show by quitting or by going all the way to the million
I can’t think of a game show where you always win by quitting
Million Pound Drop - obviously you'd be better off taking the money rather than answering any questions.Quote: michael99000I can’t think of a game show where you always win by quitting
I can't remember the exact format but Take Your Pick gave you a choice of keeping money or "Opening The Box", so under some circumstances it was better to quit.
I suspect they don't d it these days, but there was an early Deal or No Deal where the banker offered over book, and the player, being greedy, kept going.
If I quit arguing with my gf it usually leads to less stress and maybe I get laid in the mix
Game gamewise its usually better to quit in a 3-card monte game

That one game with the "Whammy!" in it.
Greetings, Professor Falken. How about a nice game of chess?

Let's Make a Deal?
When they pull someone out of the audience they just give them a prize right off the bat. Then you can keep the prize or risk it for something bigger. So, if you manage to get randomly selected to play, you can collect your prize and immediately quit a winner.
I think that's how it works; I've only watched that show a handful of times.

Press Your Luck. But that's not guaranteed. You can quit while you're ahead, but if someone else passes their spins to you, you have to play them; you can't quit or pass, thus risking everything you've won so far.
The best strategy on the first move would be for everyone to simply quit
When asked if I want to join a poker game I usually refuse. Have I won?
The funny thing is many folks here have strange ideas about what winning consists of.
I wonder if this is somehow related to dating relationships.Quote: darkozThe OP says the only way to win is by quitting I dont see any games like that possible

Definitions of "game" and "win" are required.
e.g., War is not a game. Neither is arguing with a significant other. Games typically are engaged in for a fun factor. Do you actually mean "competition"?

War is the ultimate game. A General overseeing his battlefield is about as close to being God as possible.

War as in real murder and bloodshed or "war games" practices or the card game in casinos "war"
I think the last one qualifies as a game or maybe the quickness and odds are causing you to joke?

The doctors told him that he had a collapsed lung. If he continued smoking he would die. He went cold turkey and hasn't had a cigarette since that incident. That was over 30 years ago. I think that might count as quitting and still winning.
