Hi!
I have never understood peoples fascination with playing games that last "less". When I play I separate a whole day for it, so why do I want to just play 30minutes when I can play hours? The perception that somehow a good game can be played quick is false. On the contrary doesn't something good deserve the time?
Also, how fast any given rules is played is PLAYER dependent. I have probably said this ad-naseum. I play 6000 point net epic games to conclusion with set up on average in 2-3 hours. Darius and I consistently got 2 games from 6PM to midnight on almost every visit.
Fast is NOT synonymous with good or elegant. I want ot enjoy my game as I play it, otehrwise whats the point?
Peter
