Sometimes you don’t have anyone to play games with. It’s not that you don’t have friends - I can already tell that you are a lovely person who is fun to be around - it’s just that you don’t have someone available at this particular moment in time.
We’ve all been there. You send a few messages out but no one is free tonight. “I can do Tuesday!” comes back, but that’s no good; today is Wednesday. Sure, you could find something else to keep you entertained, but that won’t quite scratch the itch. Covering a tabletop with colourful cardboard is its own reward, but no-one is free to share that joy with you.
