Well, now I'm disappointed

Twice, this room has been touted as a playroom. But the bookcases make it look more like a library, except, there are no lamps next to the chairs to read by. Where's a table and chairs suitable for playing chess, checkers, backgammon, poker, bridge, Monopoly, or Scrabble? Where's the pool table? I like the slate floor, but the only thing this room is set up for is conversation, charades, or taking turns flipping playing cards into a hat while you drink too much.

Even the pheasant can't make this a game room (joke).
