Tale of the tape: how many hours?

OK, let's see about this, as I asked on Twitter and got "3-5" as an average...


HOW MANY HOURS A WEEK DO YOU PLAY BOARD/TABLETOP GAMES?

I'm intensely curious. No bullshitting, either, be honest. There's no wrong answer and this isn't some "gotcha" type bullshit.

Me, it's between 3-5 myself. We have game night on Thursdays, from 9-11 or 12, we play light games randomly while having a beer and a ciggy, and on the weekends we'll play some games, often with the Microdemons.

Generally about 1-2 hours per week given. That's playing with the wife and kids.

Every other, or every third week, I have a 'game night' and right now that's a DreadBall season, so that's about 4 hours. But not weekly.

I also spend a couple of hours a week painting or hobbying in some capacity, but that may not count for this survey.

EDIT: I forgot about 2-3 hours of Condotierre once a month or so with the Casual Players Club.

Not sure what all of this equals out to.

I'd say roughly 6 hours: 2 game nights a week from about 8 to 11 although it sometimes ends around 10 or extends to midnight or even past that depending on the game - on Tuesdays with brother and neighbour where we play campaign-type games, dungeon delving etc.- although we're often 2; on Thursdays it varies wildly depending on availability, we've reached 8 a couple of times, most of the time we're between 4 and 6 (there are a core 3-4 that almost always show up), and we play varied fare, euros, ameritrash, new, old, whatever strikes our fancy and depending on number of players - we like to play the same game a couple of weeks in a row if we haven't played it in a long time, while the rules are fresh.

Last week I busted that because I pulled out Descent RtL by myself (also with the kids, although their attention drifts off fast) and played a bunch This long weekend I'm going to my other brother's in Québec City and will likely play some more with his kids during the day and with him and neighbours later at night if they're available.

For me this is a crazy tough question because I tend to not play much at all for long periods, then get the bug and play a ton in short order.

Prolly averages to 3ish-4ish hours of week... but there can be even month long periods of 0 hours.

4-6 hours per week, with binges of 12-15 hours per day at conventions.

I usually have three monthly get togethers: Randomly themed game night at my house, RPG one shots at another, DreadBall league night at a third. Weekend tournaments are on a quarterly basis. The wife and I play something once a week, usually Talisman (!), Pandemic Legacy, Qwirkle (her favorite), or Splendor.

On average; 3-4 hours a week.

Add another 2-3 for the hobby aspect.

With the Saturday group and fortnightly Friday stuff, averages out to 10-11 hours.

If I ignore Sentinels on my phone, it is probably in the 0-30 minute range. By joining the 40k league, I have probably bumped my playing up to 2-3 hours a week.

I do paint/hobby work for about 4 hours a week, if you want to count that.

Average week is probably one long game night. So like, mean 4-5 hours with a high variance.

Actual playing, maybe 1-2 hours per week. If you count other aspects--building, painting, creating variant material--it's a lot more. Is it blasphemous to admit I enjoy the other aspects just as much, if not more?

Often a long game day on weekends, about 8 hours. And then maybe 3 hours or so during the week. Sometimes a little more.

I'm lucky in that I have a very broad network of people to play with, as well as a wife who is often doing work in evenings and weekends anyway, so doesn't care if I'm not around.

I play much more in the winter than the summer since weekends are filled with kayaking and Spartan Races and wine trail travels, etc.

Spring/Summer will see maybe one 8-10 hour game day every two months.
Winter ramps it up to two long game days a month with a weekday 3-4 hour thing at work.
