I've tried in the past to read some books on the topic but failed. Too much theory, too little practice. Is there some gamified course? Perhaps literally a game? I remember playing a game where you build your CPU with NANDs, is there something like that for networking maybe?

It's more focused on security than just networking, and I don't believe it's quite what you're looking for, but https://tryhackme.com/ https://tryhackme.com/ might be enjoyable.

Not sure if there are any genuine games for the subject, but HackTheBox (labs and academy) have some very fun challenges that will force you to learn a decent bit about networking along the way. I personally feel I learn the most about networking messing around with a homelab, VMs or GNS3/Packet Tracer. Try and get a DHCP server setup, then connect clients, then subnet, then give it some vulnerabilities and find a reason to sniff traffic with wireshark. Each layer and protocol is its own beast so there's a lot to learn, I find it best to immerse in it all and understand how they interconnect.
