It all started with that one friend who introduced you to some "entry level" game like Ticket to Ride or Catan. Once you learned the joy of having your gaming strategy play into the ultimate demise of your closest friends, you were hooked on board games. There's something about the thrill of demolishing your buddies and betraying your missus over an imaginary resource that'll take your character's success over the edge.
Tabletop LARPers, or board game obsessives, are folks who play board games on the regular, installing themselves in the lore of the board game more than they integrate themselves into any other social circle. To them, the weekly game night is sacred and beautiful. These gregarious game night goblins will do anything to keep the tradition alive, even if it means investing all of their free time and spare money into their 200+ game wall, ensuring that they always have a new rulebook to go over with the guys.
