An average game in my store is 1 hour for 1000 pts and 2 hours for 1500 pts. On many occasions, I had finished the game with my opponent and looked at the other table, seeing two other plays who had been in the store before me were still playing the same game. You may think that I am utterly serious when playing and spend no time on bantering at all. Wrong. I make comments and have friendly talks with the guy I play with all the time. We do play till the end, or at the point where the situation is obvious who would win.

Not counting time wasted on going to the restroom or grabbing something eat, I feel like the reason why games last so long is because people don't learn the rules beforehand and keep having to check the BRB or the Codex. This is a flaw that can be removed so that games are sped up. Because the store is cramped on game day, this will allow more people to play or make them wait less.

How long is an average game you play? Comment below, let me know.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148010.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148010.page GMT How long do you play per game?
Play with a lot of kids though, so their attention tends to wander. ^^;]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148017.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148017.page GMT How long do you play per game?
We play very, VERY casual games - just a few friends at someone's house - but we can take about 6 hours for a 1500pts game. This includes table setup, pre-deployment etc, but not army selection. Although we're playing until random game length (so last game went the full 7 turns), not stopping at turn 3.

We don't play too often, so rules knowledge does slow us down a little. The core stuff is fine, but I do have to look things up a few times during a game. Also, due to how rarely we play, unit knowledge is a little fuzzy, so we're checking special rules and the like.

So there are areas for us to speed up, and as I said, it's all pretty casual, plenty of banter and no real rush. I reckon with regular play we'd get down to 3-4 hours, but 60 mins for a 1500 pts game doesn't seem to be something we'll reach.

Are we having fun wrong?!

(Maybe it's army dependent - my regular opponents are Orks and Nids, so lots of infantry. My Eldar are infantry-heavy footsloggers, so last game I had 50-ish infantry, plus a few jetbikes and walkers - maybe time would be reduced if a third of my points was spent on a couple of WKs - but I'm not going there...)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148090.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148090.page GMT Re:How long do you play per game?

Last year, it was a little more than 4h, so learning all the rules and becoming quicker in decisions help, but in no way I can do a game in 60 min.
Why to stop turn 3, BTW ?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148112.page GMT How long do you play per game? hrs, that was list writing, table set-up, and game.

At the shop, 1hours for 1250, and 2 hour for 1850 is usually how it unfold itself]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148268.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148268.page GMT How long do you play per game? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148270.page GMT How long do you play per game? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8148275.page GMT Re:How long do you play per game? BRBs, I think our middle-aged brains do quite well! If I were forced to hurry up and get done with my game, I'd be playing at home or looking for another venue. I genuinely feel bad for people stuck playing in GW stores.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8149859.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8149859.page GMT Re:How long do you play per game?

Because if one of us is not tabled yet, it is still obvious who would win at that point. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8150734.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8150734.page GMT Re:How long do you play per game? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8150772.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8150772.page GMT Re:How long do you play per game? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8151434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665016/8151434.page GMT Re:How long do you play per game?
