    Been doing a few games of Slay the Spire recently. It’s good, but it took me like 7 hours for the full 4 acts. Anybody know if that’s standard, or my group is just really slow?

      Would you recommend the game? I’ve spent like 1000 hours in the digital version, even beating ascension 20 with all characters, and the appeal that I can play fast and quickly roll games draws me in (the same happens to me with Through the Ages)

        It’s definitely much slower. But you get to play through with friends, I suppose that’s the main appeal of the board game. Gameplay is very similar to the original, so if you enjoyed that you’ll enjoy this too.

          Then maybe I’ll stick to the digital version. It just streamlines the experience and I can focus on what is important: meaningful strategic decisions :D

      We have about 40 games under our belts, most acts with 2 people take about an hour. First time runs with new folks takes about 1,5 to 2 if they are really slow. Mostly the pace is picked up after the first act. Less new things to learn etc. I would expect it to get faster, but it i s still a 4 hour game if you play it in 1 seating.
