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!

I'm surprised Zombicide (first edition, though I'd be surprised if it didn't also apply to 2e) isn't in this list. The tutorial mission has an estimated play time of (IIRC) 30 minutes. In reality, I find that it's approximately one hour per newbie, or half that per player who knows all of the rules. Plus 30 minutes of setup time.
