agree  Katarina Dusikova: concordo sulla mania, perché è un disturbo (anche quando è molto lieve) di natura psicologica; volendo essere rigorosi è un'ossessione (compulsione)

  -> Grazie Katarina. Tra l'altro, credo che "maniaco di X" sia ormai diventato praticamente un cliché nel linguaggio parlato per indicare qualcuno ossessionato o "fissato" con qualcosa (es. "maniaco del controllo", "lavoro", "moda", "precisione", ecc.)
agree  Erika Ballardin: Anch'io penso che "maniaco" in un contesto di giochi sia il più adatto.
14 hrs
  -> Grazie Erika :)
agree  Valentina Mellone: Anche secondo me "maniaco" è più azzeccato in questo contesto.

Explanation:
Ha circa 50.000 hits in più di "maniaco" su Google e credo sia anche più corretto se vogliamo fare i pignoli. Nel parlato si sentono entrambi e in modo intercambiabile, magari qualcuno ferrato in psicologia può diagnosticare se è un caso di mania o di fanatismo ;-)
