I think the comparison to Twilight Struggle was simply stating that a game doesnt have to have a short playtime to be good, as TS regularly goes 2.5 hours or more, and is a game loved by many.
I finish games right around the 1.5 hour mark now, but i too think the 30-45 minutes a player is a bit optimistic. I'd say regular playtime is probably more like 45 minutes to an hour per player.
Agreed. I only would like to say that the complaint about the game being long is based in the perception of the assumed time: 90 minutes. When it comes out 120+ it is going to be frustrating IF people had their hearts set on 60-90.
That is why people complain about the time. There are rarely complaints about TS because it is expected to be a 3 hour game. It was not assumed otherwise.
Mistake or not, people assumed this game was going to be an hour. I am in that group, and so far, I think I have assumed wrong. For me, long games are an issue, especially if they are 2 player games. To each their own of course.
