An evening with friends, a turn-based game, and nobody is in a hurry. You like games where you can talk, laugh and think in between. When someone asks whose turn it is, it is usually not yours, because you knew long ago.
Technically you want no effort. The PC should be quiet and reliable, and the games should just start. You ask for nothing more, and that is a very sensible attitude.
You are the reason a game night turns into a good night.
Strengths
+You are patient and happy to explain the rules to new players.
+You create a relaxed atmosphere.
+You do not need expensive tech for lots of fun.
Pitfalls
!Fast action games do not overwhelm you so much as bore you.
!When the group has no time, your PC sits idle.
!Some matches last so long that the next date is already set.
