If you're learning in isolation from experienced players it can take a few hours during the first few games (our first game took 6 hours but that was more due to the fact Derek had to learn vectors as we went and we were trying to figure out examples that turned out to have errors in them, that has all since been sorted and its much easier to follow now). The speed picks up with experience though and Derek and I could now get a 2 ship game done in 2 hours or less (less if there is no projectile weapons, we're still a bit slow to set up the shell star projectile trackers). The shortest game we had was just shy of an hour (with a couple of the smallest ships).

While it can take a while to play you get some nice "ohh that was cool" shivers. For instance in our very first game Derek did a nice tumbling roll to keep my ship's belly in his forward arc (where the majority of his fire power was concentrated) as I flew past overhead.
