Cultural Tip
In French, *profiter de* can mean ‘to enjoy’ as well as ‘to make use of’. When talking about playing games, many speakers prefer the construction *jouer aux jeux de stratégie* rather than *profiter des jeux de stratégie*, which sounds a bit more formal. The imperative ‘Profite’ is informal; in a polite or group setting you would say ‘Profitez’. Also note that *jeux* stays unchanged in the plural, unlike many other nouns.
