You got
The Engine Builder.
You see board games as construction projects. Every card played, every resource spent, every action taken is a component in a system you are designing in real time. The early game is investment. The mid game is optimization. The late game is watching your machine produce more points per turn than anyone thought possible. You love games where Turn 1 and Turn 15 feel like completely different experiences because of what you built between them. Wingspan, Terraforming Mars, and Splendor speak your language.
