We usually play for 1 hour to 80 rep per game, sometimes with a
best-of-3 system. All 3 games generally fit into 1 hour, if both players
are somewhat experienced and know their cards. If the time limit is over
and the current game not finished, the active player is allowed to end
his turn. ---Felix
