Thanks, the article was intended to be more of a "I don't understand why developers don't appear to be as interested as me". I was really just explaining my reasons why I like boardgames, not trying to say that it would work for everyone.

You have helped have answered my question though - since I'm not a full-time developer I usually have the brainspace ready to tackle a boardgame. I could see how you guys would rack your brains all day and prefer to take your mind off things - such as watching a movie etc.
