I can also play with you, you are sure to never be bored.

Is it correct?

You have written a run-on sentence. The comma lies at the end of what should be the first of two sentences.

I recommend moving "never" so that it comes before "to." In that position, negation is more idiomatic and traditionally more proper:

I can also play with you. You are sure never to be bored.

How about I changed like that in the following sentence,

I can also play with you, so you are sure never to be bored.

Does it make sense?

I think "You sure won't be bored" is more natural.
