Timing

In a typical session of 3-4 hours, with 4-5 players, how many scenes can I expect to get through? How many times will the Producer get a scene (that is, how long does it take to go around the table)?

I know the answer will be highly variable within a group, and will vary across groups, but is it possible to come up with a rough ballpark (or ball-in-the-stadium-ish) figure?

My experience saids three or four rounds of the table in 3-4 hours.

Do you hope to make some special use of the Producer turns?

Thanks, I mainly asked just so I'd have an idea what to expect.

In our group, it's more like 6-8 rounds in 2-3 hours, with 4 players. So that's a bit faster.

RE: Re: Timing

I roughly estimate 4 scenes an hour in my games.

RE: Re: Timing

If I'm recalling correctly, we usually get about five scenes into about two hours. That ratio seems to hold up when we play longer, too.

Best,
Ron

RE: Re: Timing

Thanks everyone for your responses. I can see (as I expected) it varies a bit, but I have a reasonable idea what to expect now.
