I do like games. I also like sporty games.

1:24

We did that in the park, didn't we, with our team?

1:27

We did, we did. Which was really fun and it's a good bonding experience.

1:31

But I, unlike you, do like card games.

1:35

And I enjoy playing them with friends in the pub.

1:39

I can be quite awkward

1:41

so sometimes if I feel like I don't want to talk anymore, I suggest a game.

1:46

And then we don't have to talk to people anymore.

1:49

I feel like if it's a card game where you have, like, a question

1:55

and it's like, I don't know, you've got five seconds,

1:58

like, name three modes of transport.

2:00

Those kind of like talking, fun, laughing games with cards I enjoy.

2:05

But if it's something to do with the hearts and the diamonds... urgh no.

2:11

I just think I'd rather have a conversation

2:13

and just talk to my friends or whoever I'm with.

2:17

OK. So you don't like slow games,

2:19

so probably you wouldn't like things like Monopoly, which go on

2:23

for hours – your whole evening.

2:25

Honestly, I think I had a bad experience as a child with Monopoly. This game...

2:31

We went away with all of our neighbours.

2:34

There were lots of people, and we played a game of Monopoly

2:37

and it lasted about, I don't know, five hours.

2:41

Probably not that long.

2:42

Yeah. No, probably.

2:43

Monopoly lasts for so long.

2:45

It's so long.

2:46

But also people get really aggressive and competitive with Monopoly,

2:49

don't they?
