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.

    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.

      I love board games but can’t ever find people to play with. Trying to get my kid into it but the attention span isn’t there yet.

        I have a 4 year old and yeah, the attention span is not great. Looked up the German “boardgame of the year for kids”, found and bought Cascadia Junior so I would have something to play with him and it has been great. Easy match 3 with animals and nature.

        I played around 200+ sessions a year back in the day but since I moved a couple of years ago I have had the same problem with finding people. Got better opportunities now again to play more boardgames. I just have to engage myself a bit more to get started.
