[Asthmartyr]

Whats yours?

Longest game in the Digital Ediition: 5 hours 30 minutes. With all expansions but Woodland and deDeep Realms who weren't out yet at the time. 5 player game, we were all as potent of winning the game and after 3 hours nobody had died yet.

Shortest game in DE : 30 minutes. Winner Takes All ending, someone took Martyr, and got lucky enough to get a Teleport.

My shortest online game was ca. 10 minutes, long before the 6 player feature was added, with 6 players online i don´t know though.

WTA + Martyr is the quickest way to win. It's also the easiest way to get the No Contest achievement (win in 10 or less turns).

tournimant game-was the dervish, hit demon first turn to lose a life and then got hit by dragon rage 3 turns in a row-out of the game by turn 4

I've heard of people that got inst killed by the reaper before they took their first turn.

My shortest was probably when I was specifically targeting the achievement where you have to win in 10 rounds. It did not take very long.

Longest was about 8 hours. Was one of my first games. Only had base game with a couple of the smaller expansions (no extra board space). The AI made it to the Crown of Command first. My problem was, I had no Talisman yet, and a Warlock Quest that required me to take a life from another player. Also, the House Rule to be able to switch Warlock Quests was disabled, so I was stuck with no way to reach the Crown myself. Between the AI just getting bad rolls, and my ability to regenerate life through various methods, it took me about 6 1/2 hours to finally die. I almost called it a stalemate several times, but decided to see if the AI could actually finish me off.

Rare but still happen from time to time.

My fastest game was while playing the Ninja. The AI players were the Dark Cultist, Tavern Maid,, Elf, Warrior, Cat Burgler.

Round 1 - Landed on the Ruins and drew the Sword of Truth and the Magic Wand. My first spell drawn was Random which I proceeded to cast on the Dark Cultist. Nothing happened to her bit the next spell I drew was Enchanted Blade.

Round 2 - Cast Enchanted Blade on the Sword of Truth, drew "Twist of Fate" as my next spell and then moved to a space drawing a Dragon. Slew the Dragon and then gained a Strength. During this turn, the Tavern Maid stopped by and "offered" me a drink which allowed me to draw the Potion of Strength. I drank it and used "Twist of Fate" to ensure I gained 2 strength. "Twist of Fate" was replaced by "Immobility" which I cast on the Dark Cultist at the start of her turn. (I really don't like the Dark Cultist) "Immobility" was replaced by the spell "Craft."

Round 3 - Cast "Craft" at the beginning of my turn and then drew the spell "Weakness." Drew the card 2 Bags of Gold which was nice but turned out to be critical for the win on Round 5.

Round 4 - Landed on the drawn Ogre, who had beaten up the Tavern Maid during her turn. Between my Secret Strike and the Sword of Truth, the battle was no contest and the Tavern Maid was avenged.

During Round 4, the Elf drew Portent and I drew the Quest Card "Roll One Die to Accept a Quest" and rolled a 6 - Discard 2 gold. I was then teleported to the Warlock's Cave and drew "The Magic Door" as my Quest Reward. Before the round was over, the Warrior wandered into the Highlands and drew "Ymir's Glow" which caused me to draw "Marked for Glory" as my second spell.

Round 5 - Figuring I would have a chance to at least get a cool Treasure Reward, I used "The Magic Door" to teleport to the "Treasure Chamber" in the Dungeon to do battle with "The Lord of Darkness." I first used my Secret Strike ability and then cast both "Weakness" and "Marked for Glory" before starting battle. (My spell draw for the Wand was not memorable as it was nothing I could use at that point.) I rolled a 1 for my combat roll and the Lord of Darkness rolled a 5, reduced to a 4 for Daylight. I used the "Sword of Truth" to change my roll to a 6 and I added 6 points to the roll with the "Marked for Glory." This brought the combat scores to 19 for me and 10 for the Lord of Darkness. I grabbed the Bag of Holding, even though I was going to the Crown of Command, teleported to the Crown of Command to find the Ending Judgement day. Between my roll of a 5 and the judgment of enough of the AI players, I was judged worthy and won the game.

i have the achievement for winning the game within 10 turns.

Isn't there some bug introduced in Werewolf that could theoretically make the game last forever?

[Count_Dandyman]

Well my quickest loss went on for quite a while after I was taken out but yeah in one of the earlier tournaments I had a game where I got killed by the reaper on the first players first turn.

And what kind of bug would that be?

No bug, but if you don't have no more lives and fight on the CoC at night-while both are lycanthropes, you could have a long game-i always play no more lives-so never a problem for me

I just won in six rounds by playing the assassin vs ghoul on original board with no re-spawn.
Ghoul lost one life to a hobgoblin. I had a combination of lucky rolls (plus my fate re-rolls) to land on the same square and assassinate it three times. YAY!

Not sure what my longest game was, but the very first time i won took an extremely long time as the AI character gained the poltergeist follower and was next to a healer square for ages and kept replenishing lives every other turn....

[Farcast]

I was insta-killed once by a card on the first turn. Don't remember which one.
I play with no respawns, so.

Anyway, good tip about the No Contest achievement. In fact, I just managed to do it.
Is there a source somewhere with more tips about achievements?
Some of them do seem preposterously specific...
