How long does a typical game last?

It would definitely vary. It also depends on how many people are playing the round. Probably about 20-30 minutes average.

Depends on how many people are playing! We usually have 8 people! Probably takes less than an hour unless you are laughing and talking a lot!

The time of play can vary depending on how the dice fall. It could take 20 minutes to an hour. It's a fun game !

We play to 10,000 points with 4 players and it lasts about 15 minutes, longer if a lot of laughter /conversation. It's a fast, fun game and we love it.

This game is a little bit more in depth then most board games. There is a lot of strategy/thought involved and a fair amount of little rules to keep track of. The rules are about 4-6 pages long, if I remember correctly off the top of my head. Once you get the general flow of the game, it can move at a good pace. Some games can take 30 minutes and others can take two hours, depending on number of players. The maximum players I would probably suggest is four, especially with new players. Hope this helps!

It will usually take longer the first game (like more than 3), but after a few games, the time will get closer to 2 hours.DaveBoardgames4us

Short Answer: Probably notLong Answer: How long are your class periods? It takes about 10 minutes to get the game set up and running. Every time I have played the game it lasts about 4 hours, if not longer. If you have the time to let the kids learn the game and the time to let them play coupled with the fun educational parts of world history, then this would probably be a great game for them! But it really does require a decent time requirement to really enjoy what you are doing.

If both of you had played before and know how the game progresses I would say 30-60mins after setup, maybe longer if you take your time.

You can play several rounds, but one round/game takes about 30 minutes. More or less depending on how much debate there is. Super fun game!

Depending how skillful/smart the player is using his bugs. I have played it in half hour or 45 minutes, but it can take longer depending on the skill level of the players.

I'm assuming by game you mean a single quest. (The game is best played via a campaign which is about 9 quests or so which would be about 15-20 hours.) Most quests are divided into 2 parts, and I've found that each part is about 45-60 minutes. So a 2 part quest will last about 90-120 minutes, and single quests are about 45-60 minutes.

It is a timer of sorts. As the game goes along the time will change (manually) when it hits a certain time, the game is over. Think Cinderella! ;)

Depends on the definition of normal operation. I would say 6-8 hours if I'm just writing papers for school and 4-6 hours if I am writing papers and using wireless internet. Less then 4 if I'm playing games.

Cant remember the amount of hours. Probably 9-10 hours or so, although I like to explore all areas of the map and kill everything possible. I do remember it being somewhat of a challenge (in an enjoyable way) on the regular setting.

Not hard at all. The rules are a bit complicated, but they are all very intuitive once you've read through them. I've played with about 6 to 8 different people at various times and everyone has enjoyed the game and had a good time. I do admit that i don't think we have ever made it in the expected play time, but then we're enjoying ourselves so much we don't care. Play time does pick up once everyone is familiar with the rules, this last Saturday we completed one game, and just jumped right into a second one.

I would say an hour. The biggest factor is how familiar the players are with the game and those cards, since each card can have special rules. Since it is a cooperative game, more experienced players can help lay out the options for less experienced players, but in the classic game, there are few options. Cards that add teleport and the Guardians of the Galaxy that adds gem shards allow for more options and can slow down the game. If you have a deadline, I would plan 1.5 hours for an average 4 player game, which would be around the 90 percentile. Some games are so disastrous they end after 20 minutes. I would say an hour.

Its a function of how difficult an ancient one you're battling and how familiar you are with the manual. The first game we played, all of us were noobs, took probably 3-4 hours. A lot of that time was spent referring back to the manual. Still an awesome game.

About 4 - 4.5 hours. I didn't checked it with games, so it is possible that with hard games the time will be less ~ 3hours

you have to draw a tile. There should be a list of rules that come with the game. Check and read the rules again. If you play double fifteen or double eighteen make sure you allow at least four hours for the game. Especially if the players like to talk a lot during the game.

This game is a lot of fun. It does help, if you have seen the show, to explain what's going on. However it isn't necessary. It is a long game about 4+ hours, and they're is a lot of strategy, so if that's your type of game go for it.
