Do you want to insert an method to the object?

color: 'GreyishBrown',
isTurn: true
}
player1.play()

To do this you want to put the function inside the object literal. With the property of play and then a function as value. If you don't get it after you complete it, rewatch the video again.
const player1 = {
name: 'NameHere',
color: 'ColorHere',
isTurn: true,
play: function(){}
}

That does the trick! The brackets after "play" in the question made me a little confused at first. After rewatching the video, I realized that she said, "The property key is the name of the method, and that's the name you'll use when you want to call it."
In the end, one is able to create a method, e.g., play(), by using the method's name as an object property.
