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

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.

Yeah it's a shame so many people associate board games with boring roll and moves, or family arguments.
