[Luke had pretty much expected to be beaten at any game he chose, and wasn't planning on trying to win. Still, he does think that if he goes forward with chess, it'll end too quickly to make Bill anything but even more bored. So after a moment, Luke shrugs and reaches over the bar again to pull out another board.]
Fine. Dejarik it is. It's like chess, but the holograms attack each other.
[Which makes it obviously superior in Luke's mind, but he usually doesn't say that for fear of sounding shallow.]
do you want to handwave explaining rules and playing, or play it out?
[Luke grins. It's good information, too, for his future plans.]
Just wait.
[He turns on the portable set, and the creatures flicker to 'life,' arranged around the board. He tells Bill the rules, and watches as the pieces roar and squeal.
Luke is passable at this game, but he has no real expectations of winning.]
