It’s not that bad if you keep it to 3-4 people and you plan for it. I’ve had groups with new players like that which start at 10am and go to around 5pm, including around 45min for lunch. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.
Going the full 6 players takes a much longer time, though.
If everyone in the group already knows how to play, and at least one person in the group is the “Cool, so it’s Harriet’s turn now” kind of person that keeps the game moving, then games can go fairly quickly in my experience

I’ll never forget when one of my roommates in college spent like $500 on the board game and his friends came over to play and it took them 4 hours to set the game up and process the instructions, then they played for a couple hours.

Cool, now I can flip a virtual table when my friend invades my territory.
I have PTSD from playing the board game with my family. They won’t let you concede if you are losing a game so it’s a super slow death. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
How come you can’t concede? Just stand up
I’m a long time Eclipse player and the commitment for a game like this always looked crazy, so I’m excited to play it this way.

Oh, wonder what’ll happen to Twilight Wars.

They never met up to play again
