The ridiculously complex Campaign for North Africa boasts 1,500 hours and recommends you play with 10 people - these gamers aim to finish it with two.

    Reminds me of the Star Craft board game. It’s super awesome but also pretty complex and in that complexity really managed to capture what it’s like to play the video game.

    It takes a long time to complete and on top of that we always have to re-learn it which leads to us playing it less which of course exacerbates the problem.

      I believe it is the same game that was reimplemented to 40k instead and changed name to Forbidden Stars. Pretty cool game and above what average casuals play.

      The boardgame market is huge and more people should try more games. There really is something for everyone, any number of players and time frame.
