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!

Depends who you play with. We played Ticket to Ride Nordic Countries this weekend. I think it took us 2 hours, maybe longer. At some point my sister revealed to the table she could finish that game in 6 minutes when playing online.

Well, yeah, it does all the fun things for you.

I used to love an Xbox Risk game, and games would take 10-15 minutes because it did all the rolling.

Which was still fun on account of all the pretty pictures of cats fighting robots, but the point is automation makes tasks faster, not a new concept, and not a slight against traditional games.
