@paco @BenAveling it is just a stupid electronic device

@paco Our rule, which we have found pretty accurate, is to take the time for the game on the box and double it. Box times only happen with experienced players (thus no teach) and no AP. In one of my regular gaming meetups there's a group of us who pride ourselves in actually being able to knock out Terraforming Mars:
Ares Expedition in the 45 minute box time. -

️ Not the same but I have also been having DNS-related problems today... small world!

@paco look closer. He has a work tie and then he comes home and puts on his casual tie with his robe.

@paco pyjama ties were all the rage in the late 50s.

I'm starting to think the actor playing Tony was just clumsy. They kept these scenes in rather than re-shoot them.

@paco Right? That was quite the natural slip and fall.

@paco Dammit Paco -- did the Nominum folks teach you nothing?!?
(I think I still have the binder they gave us back then)
@48kRAM That's what makes it SO embarrassing!

@paco Thanks for sharing this! ^_^
Also, how have I never heard of NitroKey?! Looks super cool. FWIW, I do have something in progress with a different 2FA key

Ares Expedition in the 45 minute box time.@CurtAdams @paco on Saturday night it was 9.15 and a game gets pulled out. I don't want to be staying late I says, it's only an hour long he replied. We start 20 minutes later after set up and rules explained. It took 80 minutes. So it's almost 11.00 when I left, rather than closer to 10.00 as I intended. I did come 2nd=/4 though, Call To Adventure.

@paco love board games

Ares Expedition in the 45 minute box time.@CurtAdams It turns out one of our friends got a special card, misunderstood how it scored, and spent an hour doing a stupid strategy. All it did was interfere with the rest of us without getting him meaningful points (he was last out of 5). As soon as we explained how he wasn’t earning any points doing this, he stopped. The game ended like 15 minutes later.

@paco OK 150main and about an hour to go seems long.
Architects always feels quite smooth an easy to "read". Even though I could not tell a strategy at all.
But I'm sure in the first game it might take a bit to figure everything out.
And if all 4 player are new to the game it sure takes more than 90min. -

Thinking he'd get victory points for capturing people, he kept capturing over and over and over. Everyone was spending a lot of time getting their people out of prison and not a lot of time doing the steps that lead to victory. When he finally understood that the victory points only come at the end of the game, he stopped doing that. And once he stopped doing that, the game moved a lot more swiftly.

Ares Expedition in the 45 minute box time.@CurtAdams @paco We usually go by 150% for 2 players. If a range is given, we take the higher one; for 4 players the higher number times 2. Works pretty well for us with one major exception: Obsession!
The range on the box says 30-90 minutes, which is obscene. In real life, it takes us 2-3 hours with 2P and up to 3,5-4,5+ hours with 4P.
But still a great game and a fun time, every time. -

Stupid American Heiresses. Pretty gamebreaking if you ask me. We have never seen anyone get an heiress early in the game and not win.
