Default Re: NEW PBW Game : Galactic Realism

PBW turns are usually days per turn, not turns per day.

In my experience a game will usually have 1 turn a day for maybe the first 30-40 turns. After that, when empires start getting complicated, it goes to a turn every 48 hrs. Eventually the game reaches the stage where the players agree to longer, maybe every 72 hrs. Games that have gone for really long like maybe 1-2 years get longer, like once a week, as people need longer while certain players lose interest and stop playing.

I have seen games offering multiple turns a day but I don't bother with them, mostly because they are US centric and I would be asleep during their day.
