I'm all about taking a bit of extra time in a game to go explore that room you missed, or build up your land slowly to end up with better stats, but this is simply ridiculous. I'm pretty sure that if I saw a game and thought it would take me about two years to PLAN, I would not buy it - if out of nothing more than avoiding a huge monopoly in my time
