narau is one word for learn. naraitai is to want to learn.
suru or yaru are used for video games. Sports also use suru or yaru.
asobu isn't normally used in combination with a noun like "play a game" is in English.
asobu has a meaning of "having fun" or "enjoying yourself".
watashi ha tomodachi to umi de asonda
I had a good time with a friend at the beach.
or
asobu basho is a term that means "play place" literally but can be used by adults when talking about a place they have fun. Like a bar or a club. Those can be called "asobu basho".
