- In Episode 114 Mike has been getting some feedback on his recent game Flagstone, specifically some interesting feedback on the length of the game. It has been mentioned that the game is lots of fun, but too short, which has led Mike to wonder, what exactly is the perfect length for a game? Can it be too short?

I often think about this in relation to tournaments. Games can be played in tournaments but not all games are tournament games. Tournaments could use a bit of a rework to also follow your 70% rule, can the tournament itself be more of an over-game? It’s unfortunate when people drop after the first or second game because the outcome is known and hey, it’s just more fun to go grab a beer and play some filler game.
Diplomacy while at university. Player by mail. Game took three months. People were sending pictures of nuclear explosions to threaten each other at one point. Possibly the game was too long.
Sounds about right for me. But then I played a six month game of Mighty Empires and didn't consider it too long.
Hi, just wondering what you guys think of one page rules and what changes you might make to increase strategy involved. I really lile the mini agnostic free rules as good for younger players but wiish there was a bit more to the decision of tactics.
Ultimately OPR is very much positioned to hoover up loose ex-GW fans, so it makes sense that they shouldn't be significantly more complex than the parent system. Honestly, I don't think there's much you could do to make them much deeper without going in and fundamentally altering them, which would sort of defeat the purpose.
@@RuleofCarnage cheers for reply that makes sense. Checking out mantic fire fight soon so hopefully that will tick the box for the strategy im looking for
