This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Board games that take forever to play.

Quote from: Ned the Lonely Donkey;40392Talisman is another game where I think the poor endgame ends up ruining the fun. By the time you're slugging it out for the win, all the fun is been and gone, and yet the slog to win takes up most of the time. I played a lot of Tal in my time, but I'd sooner just play the fun bit and then toss a coin for winner when things get boring. Ned

Yeah, I've burned off a good chunk of my life playing Talisman. Several games stopped being fun and just became an endurance test. Getting rid of that (with all the expansions) was like getting a monkey off my back.
