Strategy games, ADHD, and the curse of ‘one more turn’

I have fallen into the ‘one more turn’ (OMT) trap more times than I can remember. When I was young it was less noticeable, less important. It didn’t matter if I was up past midnight turning Alpha Centauri into a waterlogged, irradiated wasteland, if I could drag myself into school the next day. At university, with no parent to give me a morning prod in the ribs, Armageddon Empires, Galactic Civilizations 2, and Sid Meier’s Pirates! took a grade off my degree.
