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

My friends and I in high school spent a lot of days just hanging out. For one reason or another we started playing monopoly off and on as we chatted. As a few weeks went by we quickly realized there was a lot more to the game than meets the eye and our strategies started to develop. We went from just rolling and going with the flow to buying everything we touched and negotiating some intense trade contracts. We moved from there to Catan and Dominion and saw how much more depth there could be. We have all been hooked ever since.
