@hi_hi You might well be right. I had no interest in the game at all, then at the start of lockdown my son asked me to get it so that we could play online and still have some time together on a daily basis - just an hour or so each afternoon to help get us through while we were apart.
I really didn't "get" it at first and wasn't enjoying it but actually, although I'm not interested enough to play it on my own, I recognise that it's actually extremely well-made and enjoy our time when we do still play (not so often any more as he is able to visit now).
