const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        if(player1.isTurn === true) {

The teacher's notes from the previous video may help

To access the value of these properties inside the method, I'll use the this keyword instead of the variable name. This way, you'll always be access the property values attached to that particular object:

const teacher = {
   firstName : "Ashley",
   lastName : "Boucher",
   printName: function(){
      console.log(this.firstName + this.lastName);
   }
}
