When did board games 'click' for you? (self.boardgames)

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 family always played the standard 80s/90s board and card games, I picked up Carcassonne in 2012 but it didn't really click, plus my girlfriend wasn't into it.

It wasn't until 2021 when I picked up Azul and Sagrada, that I realised how amazing games have become. The pieces, rulebook, simplicity and depth.

First time playing a worker placement Euro was a real eye opener, having been raised on roll-and-move.
