Yeah that was part of my thinking too evil homer. But 3 of the players have indicated 2 games max.

Comments anyone?

PS In the interests of starting earlier, it looks as if Jarrko will replace Frozen, pending comments.

If we play them similtaniously we are looking at a commitment of 3-4 months. If we play 2 at a time we are most likely looking at a 9-12 month commitment. No way that all people will stick around that long. Also people that get killed off early will they show up 3 months later for next round ? I doubt it.

All true.

I also do believe that the first 10 turns really could be done in a day, for all 6 games.

I rarely take more than 10-15 minutes for the first few turns. Even turn7-10... maybe 30. 30x6 = 3 hours.

So the first 10 turns = 10 days, 2nd = 20 days. 3rd = 30 days, 4th= 40 days, exciting action packed conclusion = 50 days.

150 days... 5 months.. I'm guessing.

But, whats more I figure that in some of the games, you are going to be getting trashed, just fighting to save 1 vp... so those turns will be short.

And lastly no diplomacy, no trading, no contact. No discussion. Its the honor system, but that ought to cut down game lengths as well.

But, lets hear what people say!

When you say it that way, It sounds like 6 at a time wouldn't be too bad.
