Approximately how long does a game last?

Count on at least an hour, more if you don't know what you're doing yet. Since the new edition comes with campaign rules, is can potentially last a loooong time, broken into segments, if you want.

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 depends on the number of players and how well you know the rules. Last night five of us played and it took about an hour and half or maybe and hour and forty-five minutes to play both of the games encounters. If string the games together you can plan as long as you like.

It depends if you do a campaign or just a single quest (which is most of the times two Encounters, basically two quests in one). It says in the rules that a campaign can last 20 hours, so you usually don't do it in one session..unless you're an hardcore player :). A normal quest lasts about an hour or two, depending on how well the players and the overlord know the rules...Have Fun!

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.

It depends on how you define a 'game'. Each encounter is composed of two parts. Each part can be completed in 1-2 hours. So if you do both parts of an encounter in a single session 2-4 hours. If you choose to separate sessions, just keep some plastic zip lock baggies handy so that you can place each character's items, damage, and skill cards in separate bags. You will also need to separate the overlord cards - draw pile, discard pile, and hand.

4 maximum, 2 minimum. I suppose you could play solo as well if you really wanted too. It is enjoyable with 4 players, just be prepared to play for a few hours (3-4hrs on first play through). I would say 2.5-3 hrs would be about a standard game when everyone has played before.

depends on what you're doing. when playing a game, it will be dead in about 1 to 1 1/2 hour. Doing typical stuff, it is good for around 4.5 to 5 hours.

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.

Depends on what your goal is. If you're just playing through the game normally, it could take a couple/few hours.100% completion is a different story...

It really depends on the number of people and how fast everyone takes turn. Also, the rules can sometimes be up to your interpretation, so it also depends on how much debate happens over that. If you have a focused group I'd say the game would be a lot faster. With my family, games probably do take about an hour.

30min to an hour, depending on the type of players playing. With people who get into analysis paralysis and/or people who play cutthroat (not only get an advantage but also try to disadvantage opponents) it can get to an hour.

Recommendation is 24 hours. I routinely play them after 6 hours with no apparent ill effects.

If you've played any of the series, the campaign is fairly long, as those. I would guess, 4-5 hours.

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.

You need two people to really rachet it down. Any sag we see if after 45-60 minutes of game play although we have 9-10 year olds on it. Perhaps the big guys are packing more of a punch.

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! ;)

It depends on how often you watch the show and know the correct answers. I would guess 20 to 30 minutes. It is a boring game unless you change the rules to give credit for the first one to answer correctly. A much better game is The 5 Second rule. Adults and children can play and laugh a lot.

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!

I would say it means that the average game takes about thirty minutes. This is a really fun game if you have at least 5 people!

about 9 hrs depending on what you are doing if playing games battery only lasts about three hours

About an 1 &1/2 hours. It'll depend on the experience of the players involved.
