gameplay
n. the action!
Last year a friend invited me to a Magic: The Gathering meetup. I learned the game briefly when I was 14 or 15. “I don’t even remember how the gameplay works,” I said.
whist
n. a defunct card game in the same family as bridge, euchre, and hearts
Mom: What’s the Jane Austen book with the most lively plot and the least whist?
Me: I think you’d like Emma!
Me: But there might be whist.
pinball
n. an arcade game made of ramps and bumpers, where you use flippers to propel a silver ball
There is one pinball factory left in the world and it has been a personal fascination of mine for about a million years.
