I played another game of St. Petersburg at Brettspielwelt. Once again I’m surprised by the slowness of it: 43 minutes this time. That’s more in line with the real games, but still way too slow for BSW. People take too much time when they pass, that’s it.

While the waiting kept me bored, the game was quite exciting. Final results were 77-75-73-6?. The last guy was out of the race early on — he had lots of buildings but not enough money. It was a close race between the rest of us and my second place was finally caused by only having four aristocrats. The winner got seven, so my success was quite good considering the circumstances.
