| Harp: | I’ve played a lot of checkers when I was young, but never chess. |
| Maura: | Yeah. Checkers is pretty easy to play. There aren’t too many rules. I’ve probably played chess once or twice and I just wasn’t interested because there was so much memorizing with all of the rules. And if you wanna get good or enjoy playing chess, I think you have to keep playing so that you just start to know the rules by heart. |
| Harp: | Yes, I agree. And it’s a game you always have to think a couple of steps in advance. I think now, present. “If I move this little piece, what does that do?” That’s it. |
| Maura: | What are some of the other top games on the list? |
