0:21.6	So he just played two games of Twilight Imperium.
0:43.3	We played a game yesterday, and we played a game today.
0:46.5	How long did they take us?
0:48.1	So the first game was a five-player game and it took a seven-and-a-half hours
0:51.7	minus some setup time, and the second game was a four-player game, and it took us half hours minus some setup time and the second game was a four-player game and it took us five hours minus some setup time so what that means uh boys and girls uh welcome to space cats peace turtles um is that if you get really good at the game maybe you can get to the really sweet spot three four hours i do think the game is faster i don't

2:04.0	Yeah.
2:04.3	Things that all, you know, the things we're going to talk about today negate a lot of the things we talked about in our first five episodes.
