General What's the first turn-based strategy game you ever tried, even if you didn't finish it?

The first turn-based strategy game I tried was Civilization. Honestly, I didn't finish it. The tutorial says I should build a warrior, but five minutes into the game, I was managing trade routes and the city. I couldn't afford to waste time relearning mechanics. That first overwhelm actually taught me strategy games reward patience, not speed.
