- Lucas, would you like to come with me to try out the new games bar that opened a few weeks ago on the high street [US: main street]? My friend Sarah who's already been there keeps telling me how cool this place is. - Adam, do you really think that I would enjoy it? A bar full of strangers who are playing board games together... I'm not sure that that would be my cup of tea. - Lucas, you have the largest collection of board games of all my friends, and you're also the best strategist that I know! That would be the perfect opportunity for you to use your skills. Also, they have rare games that you will not find anywhere else. Trust me, you won't regret it! - All right, you've convinced me Adam, I'll go with you!

Clever stuff happening!
