15 or 51 minutes?

Post by bengiff »

On the BGA front page, it says the game takes 15 minutes, but on the game page, it says it takes 51 minutes. Is the latter just a typo? Who needs to know about this to fix it?

Also, when you set up a table, it says it will last about 55 minutes no matter if you set it on fast, normal or slow setting.

I've played two games so far, one with a stranger that lasted about 30 minutes, and one with a friend, which lasted about 40 minutes, with me explaining all the rules. So 51 minutes for an average game seems way too long, but 15 minutes way too short.

Maybe 51 minutes is just time from the box of the physical copy? It would make sense for the physical version of the game to last longer (you need to place things like tiles on factories, manually calculate points etc), and it also seems to make sense to put the time of the physical game as the first estimate, before there is enough data to put something more accurate there.

There's a "45min" on the physical game box.

It's saying 36 minutes now on the game page. I was wondering if maybe that number is generated from actual game data.

Theoretically, this game can be finished in 15 minutes, if both players are experts and they play really fast.
If not, I'd go with 30+ minutes instead.

This data is probably generated by the actual game data on the platform
