Ooh I have wanted to try space 1889 since forever, how long does a game of sky galleons take?
Pavane:
A game of SGoM takes from 1 to 2 hours. You can find out more about it on Board Game Geek.
Omniraptor:
I did look there, it's pretty desolate :(

We called the game Lobbies of Icarus because we would spend half our time in lobby. You could actually calculate this by comparing how long steam said you have been playing the game by how long the game said you spend playing each class. For every one I talked to it came out at 2 hours in game to 1 hour actual game play.
The game play was pretty excellent. There was a gentleman's agreement that the game wouldn't start if a captain was trying to get a crew member to take the right kit. So when they did start each ships was setup to the captain's preferences. However it meant that one troll could stall a 16 person game. Some times one troll would show up and every body would leave the lobby and start a new one with roughly the same ships.

This is an issue with new matchmaker.

This one still works exactly the same... Except named lobbies, I miss those :(
