“Ordinary playing time” refers to the duration of a regular game as typically indicated for published games on the market:
- Excluding rules explanation, setup time, or additional clarifications
- Excluding the extended duration of a first game
- With the recommended number of players
- For most games, this means a game with four players, if possible; for strictly two-player games, a game for two
- Based on an average, steady game pace with experienced players
The time given should reflect the realistic duration of a standard game after one or two practice rounds.
