Looks like half an hour to an hour, depending mainly on how quick both players play, how soon Expresso Machine/Expert Advice get used and how much time the players spend shuffling after the Cliques' Action abilities.-[[User:Bucky|Bucky]]

The card that looks to me like it would add a lot of time to the game is Everything Changes.  At best you're rolling that d20 20 times, on average it's going to roll 60-70 times, and over 10% of the time, you're going to pass that d20 back and forth over 100 times before you're done.  (One million samples using the Monte Carlo method, in case it matters.)  I'd recommend splitting the cards evenly, then have each player roll a d20, with the person who played the card getting a +X bonus, and whoever rolls higher, for every X they beat the other person by, they get to steal a card. --[[User:Jtwe|Jtwe]] 01:53, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
