Is this REALLY only a 30 min game?

Depends on whether you have friends who take a long time to make decisions. Usually yes.

At first it takes a while as people learn how to play the game, but as players get more used to the game play and strategy involved, it typically takes us 30-40 minutes.

There's a pretty steep learning curve, but once everyone has the idea, the game goes very fast. You don't have to wait for each individual to complete their turn... everyone can decide their turn at the same time, then resolve and move to the next round together.

I went down to ask my 19 year old son who plays the game and he said yea about!

If everyone knows what they are doing, it is easily a 30 minute game. We play with 6 and rarely goes over 30 minutes.

If you are playing with experienced players, I would suggest to lock in about 5 hours to play, seriously. With game set up and play, it really could take that long. If you are trying to teach someone the game through this version (not recommended, I would suggest to teach through A&A; 1941-much easier), then it could take a lot longer. Most people, in my opinion, play the game, take a break, and then finish later.

That really depends.. Not for sure the exact rules, but we play on teams (say if you have 6 people=2 teams of 3) The timer lasts 60 seconds, and you have to guess as many/act as many as you can in that time. Someone on the opposite team holds the card behind the guesser while the rest of their team mates attempt to guess. The way I play it; once every person on each team has guessed once, the game is over and whoever has the most points wins. So basically it depends on how many people you have playing.. If you have 6, maybe 10-15 minutes or so. The more people you have the longer it may take. Or you can say the first to a certain amount of points wins. It really doesn't matter, it's perfectly fine to make up your own version of rules (as long as you're having fun).. the rules say so!

I think it may be a little less than 30 seconds. I was hoping for longer :(

Roughly. It Depends on the number of people and just the general hands you are dealt. We've had games last under an hour, some games longer. It's a lot of fun regardless since the object of the game is to sabotage other players, so they can't get mad at you. Only get even. :D

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.

My wife and I play a full game in about 2 1/2 hours. It is not a quick game, but it is fun and well balanced. The set up of the game takes a bit of time, but once you get going, it moves well.

Ive Never Personally Timed it myself but If I had to Estimate it about 3-4 Hrs of Gameplay.

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!

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.

This is a pretty simple game. But certain strategies a more experienced player could use may merit the game less fun. A young (8+) player could definitely play.

It means that the least or most amount of time it will take to play the game is 30 minutes.

You can play up to 8 I'm pretty sure, however, playing more than two people is difficult and annoying because one player for each team is usually optimal.

To finish the game is not so long. But to see all the possible routes, you need very very long play.

Have no idea...A cheap game was sent instead...from Sports Craft! I am waiting to hear back from the seller...Good Luck!

It depends on how knowledgeable the players are on the game! If you have 5-6 experienced players, the game doesn't take much longer than a regular 4 person game. But if you have some newbies playing, it can add another 30 minutes + to the game!

Each game is different depending on players and strategy. Some are quick 30 to 40 minutes. Some much longer. But, it is really fun and lots of twists to keep it interesting.
