Why is taking turns important in games?

It makes the game fair for everyone. Even though it may be hard to give up something that you really like, understanding that your friend is going to enjoy it just as much as you is very important for making friends! 

Thinking about how your friend is feeling and understanding why they feel that way is called empathy!
