TIL a 3-hour game of Twilight Imperium is actually possible...
I always thought that game was a joke. People said it takes 8 hours minimum. Then my buddy Mark set up a game at his place in Portland and we finished in 3 hours and 20 minutes. He had everyone read the rules ahead of time and used a timer for each turn. It was actually fun and not a slog. Has anyone else found a way to speed up those big games without losing the strategy?
