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!

It's no more complicated than any other strategy / war game in the same genre. 2.5 hours teach would be mainly if the players were absolutely new to a significant number of concepts that would be considered standard.

15 minutes also seems weirdly short, most games ranked 3.5 - 4 or higher on BGG complexity definitely have a longer teach than that.
