You've basically just described Magic the Gathering.

Power Grid, right?

One of my friends looked at me and was like "get him something to fidget with... QUICK!" and another was like "why are we talking like we're trying to panic-defuse a bomb?" And the first one was like "look at his eyes!!!"

So that's how claiming I don't have ADHD is going.

Good that people are caring for the Jay goblin

Spent the rest of the game tying complicated knots between turns and then I won.

But what game?

I knit. It keeps me sane

This is clearly why I crocheted a huge blanket while playing TTRPGs back in the day with my very chatty group who would not stay on task. And occasionally napped (ADHD boredom shut down).

What board game?

Knitting while I played was the only way my brain could handle certain games with my very strategy-focused siblings who love to plan and debate strategy with each turn.
