It's very hit or miss depending on how fast people are. I'd expect most games to take anywhere between a month to three months. Also I'd expect the majority of your games to end with someone quitting early, which is also an understandable given the huge time commitment and that there's no other easy...

Faction draft only really makes sense when it's combined with seat and/or speaker drafting of some sort. Otherwise you just end up with the best factions that get insta picked with no recourse against them.

I feel like any option besides winner takes all changes the game significantly. Since you're no longer playing for a win but just to maximise your placement.

It influences many aspects of the game and makes it much more like solitaire if I can just play passively to score knowing I w...

In the current implementation, it appears that you lose less MMR for coming in second in VP points (or can even gain MMR) than you do for having the least VP points. This makes sense in a game like Agricola, but it doesn't make much sense in TI4. It's pretty important that there is no "second&q...

I wonder if there's a way to automate setting up the initial agreements for it while still requiring manual confirmation to pay off the debt. That should still be fully within the rules of the game.

I was top 5 earlier today before losing some games. One thing I think you didn't consider is saving the early 15 gold on rush games, so that you can buy a level 3 card in the first round. In a 4-player game recently, I was able to win through doing that with the 3-card that had 2 rockets on the red ...
