Holiday Open Thread – How Long Should A Wargame Last?

It’s holiday time, so kick back with your fellow BoLS gamers, and talk about our favorite pastime.  Come on in!

As we approach the Holiday season, we want to have a change to have the community weigh in on series of fun open questions and see what we all think.

So put on your robe, grab some hot cider and enjoy a gamer conversation with your friends.

Today’s topic is:

“How Long Should a Wargame Take?”

There is no right answer to this one and in the industry we see successful games that can take 30 minutes (X-Wing), up to all day (Apocalypse 40K).  So when you have that itch for an evening of gaming, how long of a game do you like to play?

I’ve known gamers who like 1 long game on games-night, and others who want to play several hsort games on their chosen night.
