Possible I suppose. I would be more inclined to believe 3 rather than 2 however. Although we certainly paused to check on a few rules we didn't delay all that much. My guess is if the three of us played another 3 player game it would clock in at around 4. Getting it down to the 2-3 hour mark is going to require the same players, having played it several times, and NONE of them being AP.
To be honest I am not considering the length to be a detractor. The time flew by very fast and we were all quite surprised to look up at the clock when we were finished and note that it was 11:30 (we started about 5:30). Which says something for the game. I plan on sitting down again with the rules tonight to make sure I didn't miss anything.
