I ran a 2-hour game at Gencon last year with three players, but I had to aggressively scene-frame and push right to the crux to get around the table once. It worked, but you pretty much have to dispense with the Stars in the Night Sky mechanic and pace things by feel alone. Still, I'm glad it produced some enjoyable play, and I hope you're able to run it again sometime!Bill Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824625064113090248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216203.post-42334198326266392812010-01-31T02:48:25.728+13:002010-01-31T02:48:25.728+13:00Thanks for playing Ganakagok!
