Can a game be played to a specific time limit?

Yes. In fact, apart from at Level 1 where the game can be won by being the first to deliver their 4 orders, announcing a time limit is normal.

Playing your first game always takes longer while getting used to the Rules. That’s why we recommend allowing 75-90 minutes for your first game.

That could even grow to 120 minutes if a class has, for instance, 4 games in play at the same time where nobody has played before and a thorough debrief is planned to finish the session.

Ideas for debriefing are available in our Learning Zone.
