Do these sentences have the same meaning, or is there a nuance? Is the second version more common?

'I have never played this game, have you?' 'I haven’t played this one either.'

'I have never played this game, and you? 'I haven’t played this one either.'

The first would seem more natural, but the question "Have you?" is a separate question, not a tag. It should be in its own sentence. In writing that means a full stop and capital letter "...this game. Have you?" In speech there would be a pause and an intonation pattern.

The "and you" might occur as part of a conversation, but it seems rather artificial. "And you" is more common in sentences about our feelings or internal states. "How are you? / I'm well, and you?"
