how long did it take to play

A few hours at max. It depends on how elaborate the players want to act scenes out. I think we were done in two.

It usually takes my gang about 3 hours to do one of these, but we take our time and have multi-course sit down meals as we go.

We made an evening of it, with food and silliness. If you don't have much time, you could probably finish in a couple of hours.
838491
We didn't play straight through. We would start one section and end up talking, but probably about 3-4 hours with dinner etc.

It took us a couple of hours, but we took our time and broke frequently to refill drinks. It was an absolute blast!!

I believe it took my wife almost 2 hours. Luckily I was tasked with keeping the boys busy that day. There are a lot of parts and a lot of decals. Kids still play with it a year later.

Definetly recommended for first timers, I was a first timer my self. Just trust and enjoy the game, it will be great. The length of the game depends on how involved the other players are, if you just read quickly through it, it should take 30 minutes, but in our game, everyone played along and added to their personal story, so it took us a little over 2hr. We started playing wihile serving drinks & appetizers, there we did the introductions and right after everyone went arount introducing themselves we started eating, we finished the game while we were having dessert, so I think it was very well planned. Hope you have a great evening as we did.

I followed the instructions that were in the package. I believe it was about 4 hours.

We played it w/ a large group & it last about an hour & a half. You can speed it up a bit, the more people playing, the slower. When you choose players that will participate & dress the part it is the most fun!

depends on how long, nature of the games being played, and what functions are being used. For a 10 year old playing FIFA14, it will last about 2-3 hrs.

It took me 1.5 hours on cable. I would say double that on DSL. Maybe up to 4 hours but its worth the wait. . .fun game.

This game may take forever. The same length of time it takes to play monopoly.

Depending on the amount of players it could take a couple of hours. It is a lot of fun especially when you have a big group of people.

It depends on teh senerio chosen by the overlord / players. I have had them last less than 2 hours up to 4 hours of gameplay. As boring as that sounds the gameplay is so compelling that the time flies. Last night the overlord player committed a terrible tactical blunder allowing our hero players to escape the dungeon and complete the vistory objectives in around 5 turns, the total gameplay was mabye 45 minutes, annd another 30 for setup and there you have it, that would be the shortest game I've ever played. The weekend before we played the final game of the first half of a campain and it took over 4 hours counting set-up time. It depends on teh senerio chosen by the overlord / players.

not very long about 3-4 days. Sorry not a fast response. I was away for a few days.

I think it depends on how many questions people ask. It took us around three hours, I believe. It's a great game and certainly perfect for first timers. The majority of our group had never done a munder mystery party before. The box even comes with food ideas and tells you everything you need to know. We had a blast! Hope that helps.

I would have to say it varies from game to game. The board constantly changes and you have to find your cards. We have played some quick 10-15 minute sessions and longer ones as well. It is a fun puzzle strategy type game.

15-30 minutes. It is really engaging and has a high challenge factor, but plays quickly.

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.

We usually play the best of three games with each game taking 10 to 15 minutes. Hive is a family favorite in our house. When learning I would give 15 to 20 mins per game.
