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

    Wow, so many Catan inductees here.

    For me it was the notoriously shitty Civilization (2002). I was around 11 years old. Any designer board game is incredible if it’s the first one you’ve ever played.

    Sadly, the first board game I played was Monopoly at ~10, and that drove me away. Then I rediscovered them in uni with Settlers of Catan and Risk.
