It depends very much on how you play but I believe a game on average speed has a max 500 turns and I would expect a good game to be easily won by turn 400; hope that helps.

Quick - 2-3 hours
Standard - 5-10 hours
Epic - 15+
Marathon - My Game Time

Depending on your game settings, (Victory conditions, era start, custom objective, foreign policy, custom objective, map size, et cetera,) games can range anywhere from five hours to five months. All these people are wrong.

If you play a Domination-only game in the Information Era on a Huge map, it might take you a few weeks to finish.

If you turn off all victory conditions and try to be peaceful with everyone and hostile to conquerors, it can technically be infinite.

My first game was about 30+ hours dragged over 2 months.

I started off with marathon, picked the biggest map setting, included about 12 to 13 other AI civs.

took my own time to learn the game and understand how the game basically works.

My games usually take 6-10 hours depending on map settings. I play most maps, usually ancient era starts on quick.

EDIT: I also push for fast science victories, so those are the 6 hour games.

Each game is really long. But there is a save button where you can save, go about your business and then load the save file at a later time to pick up where you left off. You can even do this in multiplayer.
