The Triplea java-based game has an option for “Honorable Victory” here either side wins if it has attained a certain amount of VC’s by end of a round. The Default I believe is 14. The games I’ve played against the (so-called) “Hard-AI” have all been won on this rule. The Axis have clearly lost at this point and I don’t have to go the extra hours necessary to achieve the OOB Victory Conditions. I’d suggest this added rule as it doesn’t change any of the other gameplay.

roughly how many turns does it take to complete the global game?

Short game, 7-8, really depends one if 1 side concedes early or not. Long, over 12.

Shortest for me was round 4 - London fell, the russian player was defensive and the US was fully invested in the Pacific.
Longest was 20+ with all sorts of wild stuff like Japan in Africa, the UK reclaiming Russian territories for Moscow, the US Liberating Calcutta.
Average I’d say is 10 rounds or so - but the Allies can concede sometime around 7-8 when it becomes pretty obvious that the game is lost.

I would say the average length of a Global Game usually takes around 8-9 rounds. Keep in mind, the game usually isn’t over at that point… one side usually conceeds as it is obvious who is going to win.

a most baller game takes 2-3 days of heavy drinking, dice strangulation, and a good sleep rotation.
