<!-- (audio) Sarah: Oh, yeah! 'Gartic' is another favorite. Maybe we can play 'Gartic' on the next game night? -->

--description--

In this part of the dialogue, Sarah suggests playing Gartic on the next game night. She uses maybe and we can to express the possibility of this happening.

Maybe is a word used when you are suggesting a possibility, but you are not sure if this possibility will happen or not. It shows that you are not making a definite plan, but you are open to the idea. For example: if someone asks you if you want to go to the movies, you can say Maybe if you are not sure if you want to go or if you are available.

We can is used to suggest an idea or propose something in a polite way. It shows that the people in the conversation have the ability or the option to do something. For example: if you want to suggest playing a game, you can say We can play a game to offer the idea.

The difference between maybe and we can is that maybe suggests a possibility without making a definite plan, while we can suggests an idea or proposal in a polite way.
