v.s.


Explanation:
If you're talking of a character playing his part

Cum aliis incondite agit (here the verb conveys also a meaning of "behaviour")

if you're talking of someone playing an instrument:
Cum aliis inscienter (per)sonat

if you're talking of someone playing games, then Flavio's rendition is the one you want.
