Post by: schild on April 15, 2009, 10:53:24 AM Couldn't find any information about whether you get one volume (I would assume the first, but perhaps the 7th or 8th) of the instruction manual or all 18. Price seems kind of low for 400lbs of books.

The online game that my 'Starfleet Battles is awesome! No, you love tables! Really!' impulse has compelled me to try (on and off over the years) has now generated a boardgame...Is this purgatory? Hell? Detroit?

Post by: Tarami on April 16, 2009, 04:13:10 AM The entry says two hours, but in my experience of boardgames and estimated playtimes, two hours is what it takes if you've already played it multiple times. So expect four. Problem then of course is that with the first play taking twice as long as advertised, you might never finish a game at all. :-P
