First of all is not stupid, everyone sometime has little mistakes is all part of the learning process.

your code is almost perfect, your mistake is in the play function: when you declare a function inside an object literal you have to declare the function with parentheses and curly brackets like so:

const player1 = {
  name:"Mark",
  color:"Red",
  isTurn: true ,
  play: function() { }
}

You could also use the more compact "arrow" syntax:

  play: () => {}
