We are currently still on the road and played more of Castles of Burgundy. We played a four player and a three player round which were a bit grueling because one of the players always took ages to make up their mind on what to do.

We also managed to squeeze in Ark Nova on the weekend. As always, a two player match which was fun but my gf is always very disappointed when she looses. This is not typical for her but I think it has something to do that you can end up having negative points. Sadly, its still my favorite game.

How long does an Ark Nova game take you? My SO loves the Zoo theme and I've been considering getting the game but I'm afraid it's too long for her.

The first game can be long but now it takes us around 1.5 to 2 hours. The game is amazing but more complex. My SO often just wings it and in many games this can work well. I think this is much harder to do in Ark Nova
