I mean, isn't the game there to fill in the awkward silences and hopefully prompt interaction between players?

Probably. I'm too autistic to recognize when those prompts happen, so I usually play all my board games in silence.
Meanwhile I'm too autistic to tell when they AREN'T happening, and just keep talking until somebody respectfully tells me to shut up an take my turn.
No no. It's there to crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women, of course. You know, like Monopoly?
This is the game of Let's See What Kind Of Person You REALLY Are When Things Get A Bit Competitive.
This is why I like games with lots of interaction. Then you can curse each other out before you kill them
Are you just sitting there in silence when playing board games? Kinda defeats the whole social aspect of them.
