Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Setup counts, imo.

Setup counts. But setup is in most cases significantly slower for new players.

imo the time on the box should show the time you need when everybody knows the rules and has played before.

people who have played enough to know the rules probably already have a good idea of how long the game takes!

Clean up for subsequent rounds I could get behind.
