Found a way to get my group to actually finish a game of Twilight Imperium

We kept hitting a wall around hour 6 and people would get tired and quit. Last game night, I set a hard stop at 4 hours and used the 'Age of Empire' variant from the rulebook that reveals public objectives early. We got through 8 full rounds and someone actually won. Has anyone else used a timer to keep a long game moving?

You said you used the Age of Empire variant, but that's actually the standard way to play now. The rulebook just has it as the normal setup. The timer idea is still solid though.

Honestly, setting a timer for a board game feels a bit much, but hey, if it works for you and @riverm48!
