Anti-cheat rules for the game night

Translation: machine translated
Board games are predestined for cheating. You want to win at all costs and therefore bend the rules to suit yourself. I have summarised for you here what you should do with a cheater and how you can punish them.
When I remember the board game evenings from my childhood, one thing is always present: my sister's accusation that I had cheated. I can still see the Monopoly houses and playing cards flying around like it was yesterday. Admittedly, I occasionally skipped a square or took an extra banknote from the bank. But my sister was a lot worse than me. As I'm the little brother, she was always in the right, of course. In fact, we always cheated each other and pretended that we were the innocent ones. This usually ended in vulgar shouting and abrupt cancellations of the game night. We've both grown up now and can laugh about it. I don't play games wrong that often anymore.
But what can you do if you catch someone cheating? I asked the Digitecos and Galaxians in our office. These are their answers:
The cheater has to sit out a round. If that doesn't help: Disqualification!
The cheat owes everyone a beer.
You have to throw punches. That's the most sustainable.
It depends on the game. In Monopoly, I take money from him. In Haste, he has to go back to the starting point.
He must always pick up double the number of cards by the end of the game. This is a harsh punishment, especially in UNO.
The cheater must drink a shot as punishment.
He may only continue to play with his non-dominant hand.
His face will feel the force of my fist.
Always take off or put on an item of clothing, depending on the season. When taking it off, you should think twice about whether you really want to cheat.
You can't win against me without cheating.
Now it's your turn. What do you do with a cheater on game night? How do you punish this sneaky person? Let me know in the comments column.
