I have yet to meet anyone who plays board games for any other reason than to kill a random hour or two, so I don't know if they can really be qualified as hobbies that one would put the same number of hours into as a video game, sport, etc. The expense of playing cards is also quite dependent on how good you are at playing
Board games? Oh yes, my brother and I got hours of fun out of Monopoly, and Waterloo by Avalon Hill. Hobby.
My son and I often play LOTR Risk. That takes up most of an afternoon.
Then there is six man Risk parties, which I have been to many times, with my brother and our friends. Those games can last all night, particularly when the beer factor gets thrown in.
Then there's Beer Risk. Each territory you lose means you chug a shot of beer. Now, that may not seem like much, but in a back and forth game of risk, it can add up. I never played Whiskey Risk, as I wanted to live to tell the tale.
