| Jun 12, 2014 at 16:06 | comment | added | Eric J Fisher | I've had similar in a job. The game they played was focused an out witting your opponent, mostly in the use of deception, misdirection, and a good poker pace to win. I had zero interest in the game itself, but being around them enough I found the depth of thought they put into it fascinating, the strategies especially so. Eventually I learned enough I wrote up an app that was effectively a strategy guide. After that point even though I didn't play they pulled me into their circle as sort of the strategic advisor... If you can't get into the game perhaps you can get into one of it's aspects. | |

Funny part was, sometimes when question was hard to decide and there was a disagreement, instead of tossing a coin, opponents played a quick game of Magic, and winner also won the argument. Much faster than arguing, and more fun. If this is the case, be prepared to lose many arguments, if you cannot play the game! | |

| Jun 10, 2014 at 19:32 | comment | added | StackExchange What The Heck | I think it's just life. I don't find football or soaps interesting, but usually you can find some other common ground, even if just the weather. At the end of the day, friendly apathy isn't too bad a way to be - better than a hostil environment, for example. | |
