[U]I suggest adding the following point to the rules: if a banned player (marked in red) joins the tavern in the 2nd and/or 3rd slot before the game, it results in an automatic restart, regardless of the players' wishes. There are no restrictions on 121, 131, etc.

We used to play for 4 minutes, and it was fine :smile44:

They played, to put it mildly, differently. Anton and I now regularly play Jebus with a timer of 12+6+1, and we do almost the same things as we would with 24+8.30+1.30. It's all about practice and habit.

Even earlier, we played for 2 minutes and then Quick Combat. Are we going back to the roots?

Lol, "Jebus" is a whole different story; even 8+4+1 works there. You don't need to think much.
But on h3dm1, where there are many aggressive guards and a lot of directions for your strategic genius, any reduction in the timer from the standard significantly affects the percentage of actions performed effectively. Especially with the "Hammers of Fate," when there's no time to catch your breath, and heaven forbid someone distracts you with calls.
No, if the goal is to identify the strongest Starcraft or poker player :D, then there are no questions; we continue.

Reducing the timer would be great, because by the end of the second round, it accumulates at least an hour, and there's nowhere to put that time.

Once played a mirror match with Al Feyn as Conflux on 8 4 1

P.S. Although...

P.s. there will still be those who won't be satisfied with 24+9, and they won't want to spend 10 hours on a game that can be played in 4. It would be okay if it actually helped, but they'll spend 10 minutes thinking about whether to take a pile of gold or a pile of wood.

I am, of course, exaggerating, but I have long been saying that the trend should be towards reducing the turn time, not increasing it. Ideally, a game should last not 10+ hours, but 2-3. Although it must be admitted that a short timer requires a certain level of dedication, and you can't just "jump in" and play a good game.

I'm for reducing the timer, because with 16 8 1, by the end of the second turn, you accumulate a minimum of an hour of time, and there's nowhere to put it.
P.S. there will still be those for whom 24+9 will not be enough, and no one wants to sit for 10 hours playing a game that can be played in 4. It would be okay if it was useful, but they will spend 10 minutes thinking about whether to take a bunch of gold or a bunch of wood.
