The first problem was that we only had about an hour and a half to play. Second problem was it was a learning game that none of us had played before.<br /><br />Needless to say we stopped about 1/4 of the way into the game because everyone else was not having any fun. Now it is almost impossible to get them to pull the game out again. I hate it because the game is a really good one and I don't have anyone else to play with. So, it collects dust on the shelf in hopes of being played again.David McMurrayhttp://www.heistcomicsandgames.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549558516941774469.post-49339614514344655232011-02-24T19:20:20.294-08:002011-02-24T19:20:20.294-08:00I love TI3, more than Randy or any of our other fr...I love TI3, more than Randy or any of our other friends we've played it with. That's the problem really, no one else loves it enough to make it worth the time spent. It certainly is a LOOOONG game, but not one Randy would list among his favorites :) Maybe I should make my own list of favorite long games!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526884317434688632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549558516941774469.post-41803811825957577262011-02-24T13:32:06.553-08:002011-02-24T13:32:06.553-08:00I own Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition, and I have pl...I own Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition, and I have played it many times. I like the game, but I do not like teaching it. With players that have all played a couple of times, it's an excellent game. But it seems every time that we would play it, there's always someone new. Figuring in the teaching, that a pretty serious hit to the fun vs. time spent ratio. So it hasn't came off the shelf in quite a while. Additionally, as a parent I must consider that time spent gaming is not time spent with my kids. So spending four hours walking someone through TI3 and away from my kids doesn't really do it for me.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609413389707709268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549558516941774469.post-84941650436448550432011-02-24T13:01:13.589-08:002011-02-24T13:01:13.589-08:002-3 hours a long game? grow a pair and play some ...2-3 hours a long game? grow a pair and play some Twilight ImperiumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549558516941774469.post-84630440072078909562011-01-21T12:09:47.492-08:002011-01-21T12:09:47.492-08:00Well of course D&D and all its off-shoots - bu...Well of course D&D and all its off-shoots - but I havent played RP games in years . Lately, I have been known to log on to an MMO (lotRO)early in the morning and find myself strung out, hungry and smelling really bad at midnight and wondering "what happened to the day"<br /><br />but i try to avoid this because it makes my wife grab aggro. <br /><br />I sometimes play a game that you guys gave me - history of the world - it takes 2 hours just to set up the board and sort the pieces - and another 2 to 4 hours to play the thing - its always pretty epic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710777937584886475noreply@blogger.com
