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?

A college buddy introduced me to Settlers of Catan, and the rest was history.

I've still not played Catan, but I've converted a few friends with Cascadia. Catan is the most controversial game I've come across, plenty of lovers and haters in equal measure

I've never really encountered anybody that hates the game itself, just... certain people who don't play it well together...
