How long does it take to play?

There are 15 rounds. Each round varies. We've had 30 minute games and 2 hour games. My suggestion is, you get 5 dedicated guys together, make a weekly game night and get 2-3 games per week. It's a good competitive time.

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.

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

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.

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.

Yes. You can set player one to have 10 minutes for the game, and player two to have 5 minutes, or any other interval. It is fully adjustable. It takes only a few moments to make the setting.

Yes, though it depends on the number of players. Also there's a fairly wide variability. We've finished games in 20 minutes and also 90 minutes.

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.

We just learned to play it from the rules. I read them and looked at everything ahead of playing - by myself - until I somewhat understood what was supposed to happen. I think all of these types of games have really detailed rules and you just need to go over them really well and think it out - or play first with someone who has played it before. Also - keep the rules handy for reference as you play the game. That is the best advice I can give. After you play it a couple times - it become's pretty easy and a game can be played in 30 mins. I have nephews & nieces that are 9 that play - maybe not with the most strategy - but they play.

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.

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...

2 people that already know the rules, long versión takes 45 min to an hour... Not knowing the rules can take you two hours there is so many rules but definitely worth learning them and playing it...

It usually take a couple hours to charge and lasts for about 8 hours. I believe charging and playing at the same time does slow the charge

It depends we usually take 5-15 minutes but add a few extra minutes to set it up my daughter usually wants to play several times in a row:-)

Once you've played a few times and are familiar with the cards, the game can take as little as 15 minutes. However, the more players that are in the game, the longer the game will take.

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 usually get about 3 to 4 hours. It just depends on what I am doing. If I am just reading or playing a slow paced game it will last longer than if I am playing a fast paced game which is what I am usually doing. Good Luck.
