Man: Hey, we're having game night this Thursday. Do you want to come along? I think you'd like it.
Woman: Game night? Sounds interesting. Tell me more about it.
Man: A bunch of us get together and play board games.
Woman: Aren't board games for kids?
Man: Oh no! These games are very intricate and involved. You have to use a lot of strategy to win. Oh, and I should probably warn you that people take these games very seriously--they want to win. But still, it's fun. You should come!
Woman: Oh, well, it sounds pretty serious. I haven't played board games since I was a young girl. I'm not sure I would be any good. It sounds like everyone there is an expert! They've probably been playing these games for a long time--I won't have a chance!
Man: Well, I wouldn't say that. People there do take things seriously--but I wouldn't necessarily call them experts. Everyone just wants to play and have fun. We teach new people how to play all the time.
Woman: But it's pretty competitive, right?
Man: Well, sure, no one wants to lose. But no, it's not super-competitive. Really! Everyone has a good time and we laugh a lot. You should give it a try and see what you think!
