Talk:Eurogame/move

I note that the Citadels link points to a page that is halfway to being a disambiguation page, which does not contain a mention of the "German board game" Citadels (which is actually more of a card game, but definitely German-style in the sense of this article). Should the link be moved to Citadels_(game), or perhaps Citadels (card game) given some of the other content on the current Citadels page? --AlexChurchill 14:11, Jun 14, 2004 (UTC)

Too American-centred?

Nice article, but I think it is written too much from an U.S. point of view (and perhaps being a bit unfair towards American games?). If anyone familiar with the subject could try to define these kinds of games more independently of "lousy American games", it would definitively be an improvement. Jørgen 21:43, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

Time Length

"They often take between 60 and 120 minutes to finish, although there are of course longer and shorter games."

This number seems pretty far off. Designers usual try to keep games no more than an hour, and certainly rarely over 90 minutes. A lot of the cult following of these games in the United States seems more interested in games around 90 minutes. But the vast majority of these games are in a window of mayber 30 to 75 minutes or so. (Of course, playing styles, number of players, etc affect this, but that is usually the target area.)

As a particular example, when Reiner Knizia was designing Euphrat & Tigris, many people were excited simply because it was very unusual for him to design a game that takes over an hour. (He was targetting about 1.5 hours, which is pretty accurate for that game.)
