When did board games 'click' for you? (lemmy.world)

Has it been a consistent hobby since childhood or was there a single game, a mechanism, theme or social situation which hooked you in?

Been playing board games of one stripe or another since I was 4-5yrs old and my dad taught me how to play chess, backgammon, checkers, Monopoly etc. Early teens brought more complex games like Shogun, Catan and Roborally (I am HORRENDOUSLY bad at games with move programming like Roborally) along with CCG's and RPG's into the mix.

Jeez! Now I feel really old realizing I've been gaming for nearly 40yrs.

Love it! I hope I'm setting my kids up to enjoy gaming. Been playing chess with one since he was 6, have enjoyed watching him discover strategies and understand how to defend.
