Have you ever played the Gotcha game? It is a game where people try to undermine each other to prove themselves right or better. In general, it's an ugly, cyclical game where people set each other up for failure time and again.
You may find yourself in the middle of a "Gotcha Game" without even realizing it. One act leads to another and before you know it, you are playing a game of Gotcha. When that happens, you have to find a way out sooner than later as the game of Gotcha simply takes people down--no one wins.
