The "mid-thirties" seem to be leading it uncontested.

Probably because all the hypercaffeinated teenagers are off playing RTSes, while we old codgers ruminate over a single turn for an hour

In another hobby area I paint miniatures, and I've found that most younger people don't have the patience for competitive painting... Some of the best results take many small steps, and I felt that what I lacked in raw talent I made up for in approach and determination.

I think that turn based games, especially complex ones, appeal to the more mature crowd for the same reason: Older folks are more patient and prefer to chew on things for a while.

Hey, I've been playing Turn Based strategy since... well, before Starcraft came out. Since my very first computer access, so call in 1995. When I was ten.

Not all of us I've been playing Turn Based Strategy's since I was 12 (I'm now 17). Not all teenagers are vacuous fools

I was only referring to the twitchy, ADD-afflicted subset of teenagers, not teenagers as a whole.

Of course, when I was a teenager, there were no such things as RTSes (and games were loaded from cassettes! )

Heh, since said subset accounts for about 90% of teenagers, I'd say you're right on the money!
